Prospectus for Paper

Prospectus:
In 1949, the Forty and Eight Boxcar monument was presented to North Dakota by the people of France. This monument was presented as a gift for the aid and sacrifices that were made by the people in the First World War. The main sources that I plan to use are the Bismarck Tribune, National Park Services, North Dakota Historical Society, and hopefully the French organization La Societe 40 et 8. My tentative hypothesis is that the Gratitude Train was donated by the Voiture 291 of La Societe 40 et 8 and erected on the Bismarck Capital Grounds in 1949 despite probable civilian indifference or even resentment for waging a conflict against Germany, from which many families felt ties of kinship.
