Abstract:

Memoirs written by Zukowski in 1981 of his boyhood in Poland, his family, emigration to the United States in 1905, and life in Milwaukee until 1917. A second memoir written in 1976 recounts Zukowski's military experiences during World War I, based on a diary kept while serving with an ammunition supply unit of the 32nd “Red Arrow” Division. The memoirs include newsclippings, a photograph of Milwaukee officers of Company B, 5th Wisconsin Infantry, and a list of those officers and enlisted men. In addition, there is a small file of correspondence and clippings relating to World War I veterans, “Polish jokes,” and other concerns of the Polish American community.
