Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Fletcher first sees her in 1916, at a drug store in Birmingham, Alabama. He doesn't know her, but her brown hair and beautiful eyes captivate him. He soon learns her name-Juliette Wilcox-and she would learn his. Their attraction cannot be denied, but something stands in their way. Thomas is a drafted soldier, about to be sent to Europe to fight in the dreaded World War I. Although Juliette begs for them to be married before he goes to boot camp, he doesn't want to leave her a widow. Their letters will keep them close. Letters are all they will have until he returns from the battlefield-hopefully, alive. For the next four years, letters arrive from far off France and Germany to Juliette's front porch in Alabama. For the next four years, their love grows, develops, and increases. Even so, war is a dark force, and many men never return. Will Thomas be one of the soldiers lost, or will he come home and make Juliette's dreams of marriage a happy reality.

Book excerpt: In the years after World War I, Robert Truesdell never spoke of his war experience, but he wrote more than 100 letters to his parents describing the details of his life in the service. The letters span a period of time starting with his arrival in the Fall of 1917 at Camp Wadsworth, South Carolina and concluding with his participation in the Victory March up Fifth Avenue in New York City in 1919. After Truesdell's death, his daughter discovered the letters and carefully transcribed each one. The letters are accompanied by commentary on World War I prior to U.S. involvement and on significant national and international political and military events during the months when the United States fought with the Allies. The informative commentary places Truesdell's personal correspondence into a much greater historical context.

Book excerpt: “Before the Greatest Generation, there was the Forgotten Generation of World War I . . . wonderfully engaging” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). “Richard Rubin has done something that will never be possible for anyone to do again. His interviews with the last American World War I veterans—who have all since died—bring to vivid life a cataclysm that changed our world forever but that remains curiously forgotten here.” —Adam Hochschild, author of To End All Wars: A Story of Loyalty and Rebellion, 1914–1918 In 2003, eighty-five years after the end of World War I, Richard Rubin set out to see if he could still find and talk to someone who had actually served in the American Expeditionary Forces during that colossal conflict. Ultimately he found dozens, aged 101 to 113, from Cape Cod to Carson City, who shared with him at the last possible moment their stories of America’s Great War. Nineteenth-century men and women living in the twenty-first century, they were self-reliant, humble, and stoic, never complaining, but still marveling at the immensity of the war they helped win, and the complexity of the world they helped create. Though America has largely forgotten their war, you will never forget them, or their stories. A decade in the making, The Last of the Doughboys is the most sweeping look at America’s First World War in a generation, a glorious reminder of the tremendously important role America played in the “war to end all wars,” as well as a moving meditation on character, grace, aging, and memory. “An outstanding and fascinating book. By tracking down the last surviving veterans of the First World War and interviewing them with sympathy and skill, Richard Rubin has produced a first-rate work of reporting.” —Ian Frazier, author of Travels in Siberia “I cannot remember a book about that huge and terrible war that I have enjoyed reading more in many years.” —Michael Korda, The Daily Beast

He went on active duty in April, 1918, and got home in May, 1919. He wrote over 60 letters and postcards home during that time. His letters give a warm and charming insight into his character and relationships. They provide a unique first person account of a world now long gone. It gives a broad brush history of events in Europe, events in America, particularly immigration, and the specific events of immigration and early life to introduce my grandfather and his family. An overview follows of the major events of the war from 1914-18, that would have been headline news in America. The rest of the book is his letters interwoven with the events of life in America and events of the war on a daily basis. It closes with a brief epilogue about the war's effects in Europe and a brief history of my grandfather's life until his death in 1944.

Book excerpt: "Rarely in life is one granted the opportunity of not only gazing into the past but also reliving it. Such is the saga of the Dickenson brothers. Their letters offers insight into World War I and personal glimpses into young farm boys away from home and seeing the world during turbulent times. Lost Letters from a Dough Boy is an effort in preserving the sacred words written by Clinton Dickenson, Preston Dickenson and family members. The letters are at times moving and sometime mundane. However each word weaves a story that forms a wondrous tapestry into the way they were during the early 1900s. Lost Letters from a Dough Boy gives the reader a better understanding of the sacrifices made by that generation so that we can enjoy our American freedoms. God bless each and every soldier who served this grand experiment known as America."--Page [4] of cover.
