Through more than 400 authentic objects and numerous period photographs, PERSHING'S BOYS brings to life the history of the American soldiers of the U.S. Army who came to fight in France in 1917.

This book immerses the reader in the daily lives of these men, from their uniforms and combat equipment to the personal effects that accompanied them at the front. Richly documented from the archives of the American army, it also presents rare — sometimes unique — pieces drawn from more than twenty years of research and collecting.
