Lest We Forget (Classic Reprint): The Record of North Carolina's Own: The Record of North Carolina's Own (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Dive into North Carolina’s WWI story as soldiers train, ship out, and fight in the first American front lines. This vivid record follows the Thirtieth Division from camp Sevier to major battles in France, honoring the people and places that helped shape a nation.
From mobilization to front-line duty, this history centers on the men and units drawn from the Carolinas and Tennessee. It captures their grit, their high hopes, and the tough realities of trench warfare and open combat as they earned the nickname All‑American and the fire of Old Hickory.
Readers meet the people behind the medals—the families, cities, and communities who kept watch at home while their sons faced danger abroad. The book presents real events with clear, direct writing that invites both fans of military history and local lore to connect with a pivotal chapter in American history.
- Tracking training, organization, and the move from camps to the Eperlecques area in France
- Relatable depictions of frontline life, raids, and the shift from trench to open warfare
- Detailed accounts of key actions, battles, and the costs of war for the division
Ideal for readers of military history and North Carolina heritage who want a focused, documentary-style look at one state’s contribution to World War I.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed narrative of the heroic journey of the Thirtieth Division (nicknamed "Old Hickory") in the First World War. Composed primarily of National Guard units from the Carolinas and Tennessee, the division was the first American division to march into Belgium and the first to break through the supposedly impregnable Hindenburg line. The book delves into the characters of the men who served in the division, their training and battlefield experiences, and the deep friendships that were forged in the trenches. It explores the themes of courage, determination, and the horrors of war, and sheds light on the sacrifices made by these soldiers in the pursuit of freedom and democracy. The book serves as a testament to the bravery and determination of the American soldiers who fought in the Great War, and it highlights the significant role they played in shaping the course of history.
