Hundreds of thousands of Calabrians--inhabitants of Calabria, the region that makes up the toe of the Italian boot--came to America in the decades before World War I. Thousands of them served in the US military during that war, and until now no effort has been made to document their history. Historian Peter L Belmonte begins this monumental task by concentrating on the area around the city of Cosenza, the provincial capital of Calabria's northern province. This second volume contains the military history of more than 290 veterans and focuses on immigrants from the villages of Carolei, Castrolibero, Cerisano, Domanico, Lattarico, Mendicino, Montalto Uffugo, Rende, Rota Greca, San Fili, San Marco Argentano, and San Vincenzo La Costa.
