Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Adventures of an American Doughboy Writing a book was the least of my intentions, good or bad, but so many people whom I have met since my return from "Over There" have been so interested in the late war and what the Americans did in it, that I have written this book - so that anyone who is interested in the adventures of a doughboy, who went through all the battles that the Americans were in, with the exception of the Argonne-Meuse offensive, may re-live them with him. Everything I have written is authentic. And now to the story. Most of my life has been spent near Puget Sound, principally in Seattle. In March, 117, I heard of some good homestead lands in Montana and went there to investigate them, hoping to find one that suited me. Nothing suited me - I was restless and the newspapers only made it worse. The terrible atrocities that the Germans committed, their frightful cruelty to non-combatants, women and children, their ruthless destruction of hospital ships made my fighting Irish blood boil.
