Cheryl Mullenbach, who has previously written five nonfiction books for young people, plus one targeted to an adult audience, had her seventh book released in June. Mullenbach and her husband, Dick Wohlgamuth, have lived on Lake Panorama’s Jones Cove for 20 years.
Mullenbach’s latest book, “Women of the Spanish-American War: Fighters, War Correspondents, and Activists,” is nonfiction and targeted to an adult audience. The hardback book, which also is available as a Kindle eBook, is more than 260 pages.
It’s about the female journalists, activists, spies, nurses, volunteers and fighters of the Spanish-American War — referred to by the secretary of state at the time as “a splendid little war” because it lasted only four months in 1898.
Most Americans are aware of Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders’ role in the war. However, in the quest for shining examples of splendor, high motives, and magnificent intelligence and spirit during the Spanish-American War, the accomplishments of some extraordinary individuals have been overlooked and deserve recognition. This book brings to light the stories of women who displayed relentless courage and selflessness during the Spanish-American War.
Mullenbach’s work has been recognized by the International Literacy Association, and the National Council for Social Studies has included her books in its “Notable Trade Books for Young People.” Her book “Double Victory” was listed by the American Library Association in its “Amelia Bloomer Top Ten List.” Her talk at the FDR Presidential Library and Museum in Hyde Park, New York, was featured on C-SPAN’s “Book TV” series.
She has written six other books — “The Great Depression for Kids;” “The Industrial Revolution for Kids;” “Double Victory: How African American Women Broke Race and Gender Barriers to Help Win World War II;” “Women in Blue: 16 Brave Officers, Forensics Experts, Police Chiefs, and More;” “Torpedoed!;” and “Stagecoach Women: Brave and Daring Women of the Wild West.”
Mullenbach is working on her next book, “Grit, Not Glamour: Female Farmers, Ranchers, Ropers, and Herders of the American West,” which will release in 2023. All of Mullenbach’s books, including her latest, are available at Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and some independent book stores. Her books also can be checked out from the Panora Library. Her column “Iowa Scrapbook” is a regular feature in the Iowa History Journal magazine. More information is available at her website: www.CherylMullenbachInk.com.
