Here is How You Do It, Mr. President



Proposed draft messages to Frank Pace, Douglas MacArthur, and Matthew Ridgway, c. April 1951

From the Truman Library, which has an excellent selection of documents surrounding the decision to fire MacArthur.

Welcome to Northwest History

My name is Larry Cebula and this is my professional blog. I am a Public Historian at Eastern Washington University and Assistant Digital Archivist at the Washington State Digital Archives--neither of which necessarily endorse the views here! I use this blog to explore the intersections of public and digital history. The focus is on the Inland Northwest but we may venture further afield on occasion. Here is my mission statement. Email me at LarryCebula [at] gmail [dot] com.
