About The Event

In 1917, U.S.military forces deployed to France and contributed significantly to the Allied defeat of Imperial Germany along the Western Front in 1918. "The War to End All Wars" -World War 1- was the largest,most, destructive war in humane history up to that point.

More that a century later,as the country looks back, it is important to develop a deeper connection to the the hearts and minds of two million American soldiers sent overseas to fight in this major conflict.Private First Class Elmer O. Smith of Michigan was one of those brave soldiers. This book places Private Smith's war diary and letters into historical context,describing how a typical American soldier underwent rigorous  training and then fought bravely with his unit against a determined German army foe in the brutal conditions and carnage of the Western Front.
