A new 332 page history of the Evansville [Indiana] Shipyard, the most productive of the "cornfield shipyards", which assembled LSTs during WWII.  The study is based upon primary source records in the National Archives, local resources, and personal interviews.  It details the yard administration, impact on the community, production process, and problems faced from 1942 through the yard's closure in 1945.  An appendix chronicles the military history of each LST produced in Evansville.
