During World War I and World War II, more than 350,000 men on their way to battlefields abroad came to Spartanburg to learn to be soldiers at the training camps of Wadsworth and Croft. The story of how wartime preparation changed them, and how they in turn changed Spartanburg, is the focus of Hub City's When the Soldiers Came to Town, a lively, illustrated history edited by Susan Turpin, Carolyn Creal, Ron Crawley, and James Crocker. Few traces remain of the 2,000-acre Wadsworth training facility and the 20,000-acre Croft complex. Many of the soldiers who trained there are gone as well. But this collection of photographs and memories ensures that Spartanburg--and the rest of the world--will not forget what went on at those bases in those short years. It also shines a light on the dynamic beginnings of the Spartanburg Memorial Airport, site of numerous "war games" that trained thousands of American flyboys in the early 1940s. Along with engaging oral histories, there are more than 400 photographs here--from soldiers parading in Morgan Square and dining in local restaurants to digging combat trenches and learning bugle calls.

None of these stories has any meaning beyond what the reader might impart to them. They are merely scaffolds on which the reader will create their own imaginative worlds. Stories unlock a door into the world of the imagination and usher the reader down its paths. As we tread the paths of our imagination guided by the words flowing across a page, we may relate the images conjured up by the text to our own lives, adding perspective and possibly enriching our experiences. Such is the power of fiction. It is largely why I wrote these stories.There are tales about war and how it affected both the people who suffered from it and also the perpetrators of violence. Some stories deal with escape from psychological threats, and how one individual deals with tragedy. Others are about the search for meaning and happiness. Some are simply weird, such as the story of an intimidated student trying to impress malevolent Examiners. A gothic tale describes the fate of an obsessive collector and his possessive objects. Reading and tiling will never be the same again once you have read those stories. Speculations about an old photograph will change the way you look at photos.
