 | | To the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, which fought from 1937 through 1938, the defense of the Republic represented the last hope of stopping the spread of international fascism. |
 | | By January 1937, despite a State Department prohibition against travel to Spain, Americans were crossing the Pyrenees. |
 | | The Lincolns came from all walks of life, all regions of the country, and included seamen, students, the unemployed, miners, fur workers, lumberjacks, teachers, salesmen, athletes, dancers, and artists. |
