Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Blown in by the Draft, Camp Yarns Collected at One of the Great, National Army Cantonments by an Amateur War Correspondent The majority of these camp sketches first appeared from day to day in the columns of the New York Sun. The chronicler is deeply grateful to the Sun for permission to gather them together between two covers and to turn them into a more or less permanent annal of a great National Army cantonment. In the title and now and again in the text the word "draft" appears. For a considerable period in formative months of the National Army this was assiduously avoided and "selective service" substituted. But now what sting there might once have been has disappeared and it stands an honoured word. To-day a draft recruit wears his "O. D." as proudly and soon will fight - or already is fighting - as gallantly as any other American soldier.
