<p>A true life story by Ben Waldron who kept a day-to-day diary for 3 1/2 years as a Prisoner of War under the Japanese.  He tells about the 5 months of fierce fighting & bombing & capture of Corregidor & how some 12,000 men survived the first 21 days as hostages.  Waldron was placed in 5 different P.O.W. camps in the Philippines.  For the next two years, he suffered beatings, hunger, thirst & blistering heat.  He writes how men survived against the odds of Disease, Malnutrition, Torture & Despondency through the inner willpower to live.  These incidents, while unbelievable, are true.  July 1944 Waldron was among 1,500 P.O.W.s packed in the hold of a ship & spent 62 days enroute to Japan.  The horror & deaths on this Hell Ship were as you could not imagine.  His last year was spent in the high mountains of Japan, where he experienced freezing cold, hunger, & beatings.  When told he was going home, it was an emotional time, hard to believe.  This book won the Book of the Year Award for 1989 & 1990 by the American Bookdealers Exchange of California.  See Book Review, EX POW BULLETIN, March 1990 by George Falconer, editor.

<p>The Split Rock Creek was one of the deciding ingredients for the location of the town of Sherman . It was a prime source of water for early settlers as they moved into the area. The Willmar and Sioux Falls Railroad Company, with Edwin Sherman as one of its directors and promoters, was one of the main reasons that the town of Sherman sprung to life in 1888, one year before South Dakota became a state. The Split Rock Creek would nourish the thirsty steam locomotives of the new railroad. Sherman and John Spicer, who was the president of the Willmar and Sioux Falls Railroad Company, selected the town sites along the railroad's 149 mile path. They also helped in the platting and naming of all the towns along the rail route. Sherman chose this particular town site as his namesake. M. J. Zeliff, early settler, helped plat the first eleven blocks in the new town. Sherman is located about 22 miles northeast o Sioux Falls , and is about one mile from the Minnesota state line.</p>
