Waynesville, Missouri, county seat of Pulaski County, began the decade of the 1940s with a population of 468 citizens. The only paved street in the small village was Route 66 on the south side of the town square. There were no city utilities nor health services, except for the local doctor. Then came the construction of Fort Leonard Wood. Before the decade was over, the rustic village had been transformed into a modern town. This volume details the changes that occurred during World War II.Softcover Index 214 pages $25.00

Originally destined for construction in southcentral Iowa, the Army’s Seventh Corps training camp was relocated to the Ozarks in Pulaski County, Missouri. The sprawling 68,000 acre camp subsumed part of the Gasconade National Forest and the private land holdings of over 500 citizens. Construction reached its peak in April of 1941 with more than 32,000 workers employed. The construction of the camp, christened Fort Leonard Wood, significantly altered the natural and cultural landscapes. This pictorial history provides nearly 250 images that depict the construction, training, and leisure activities of the soldiers during the period 1941-1946. The book concludes with a chapter showing views of Fort Leonard Wood today.
