Author Event: "The War at Home" with Greg Gaut
October 25, 2025 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM
Overview
Join us for an author talk and book signing with Greg Gaut, author of The War at Home: Minnesota During the Great War, 1914-1920, published by MNHS Press.
Americans went to war in 1917 literally against Germany but also against each other. The controversial decision to send an army to France came during a contentious time when farmers and workers challenged the wealthy, African Americans struggled against Jim Crow, women campaigned for suffrage, and millions crusaded against alcohol. In The War at Home, historian Greg Gaut focuses on the lives of individual Minnesotans to tell the dramatic story of this period, when the North Star State experienced bitter polarization, nativism, flagrant disregard for democratic norms, and intense, sometimes violent, confrontations.
