I found some useful info with a google search for “history of us amateur call signs”.

history of us amateur call signs <https://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=history+of+us+amateur+call+signs&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8>

This first hit was this fairly comprehensive article.

This is another good article.
