About the Title: There was a time when Sergeant Alvin York was a household name in America. Perhaps many of you recognize the name from the motion picture starring Gary Cooper. Needless to say, the movie won Cooper his first Oscar and gave Sergeant York even more notoriety, helping to retain his status as a true American hero.

This book details the early days of York, a backwoods Tennessee hillbilly who lived in obscurity until he was drafted and trained to fight for Uncle Sam overseas during the Great War (World War I). York kept a war diary that was published in 1928; this book is a unique reproduction of that diary. Added to the events of the war diary are pictures and general information about the war, which allow the reader to experience, perhaps for a moment, the feeling of what it was like to walk alongside Alvin York in the early 1900s.
