The U.S. Doughboy Experience and Writing ‘Alamo Doughboy'

Jennifer Rude Klett, author of Alamo Doughboy: Marching into the Heart of Kaiser's Germany During World War I, will speak in-person at the library, with a timely talk just before Veteran's Day.  The book is a true story that captures the lost experiences and mindset of the American doughboys fighting in the Great War. The book is a personal history about an infantry private from the Midwest who desperately fought the Germans from the trenches on the front line, along with his two brothers and two cousins, one of whom was a member of the legendary Lost Battalion. --Summary from Amazon.com.
