Pearl Harbor and Drue Lytle

Today is the anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Hugh Lytle was the journalist whose teletype message provided Associated Press and the world with the first account of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. He was married to award-winning Hawaii women’s page editor Drue Lytle.

Here is Hugh’s obituary. Drue is mentioned in it.

I have been collecting data about Drue for the past two years. The last few months have been especially fruitful. I found the above clip which answered many questions and I also located some great letters at the Western Historical Manuscript Collection. I hope to write an article about Drue after by book about Vivian Castleberry is finished.
