Companies E, F, G, and H were recruited from Doniphan, Willow Springs, Richmond, and Dexter respectively. Companies I, K, L, and M were pulled from Kennett, Sikeston, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff respectively.

The regiment soon participated in the Meuse-Argonne offensive, the largest battle the American Expeditionary Forces waged during the war. After five days of intense battle, they were relieved by elements of the 1st Division and were placed in the Sommedieue sector where they launched harassing attacks on the enemy positions until the Armistice of November 11, 1918, ended the war. They were deactivated in 1919 with the rest of the 35th Division.

Aggiungi al carrelloSoft Cover. 144 pages. This is apparently an author-published and possibly author-owned copy, with a home-made mimeographed title page and table of contents laid in. "Revised from a series of articles originally published in 1938 in the Manlius Thrift-News." Collated complete. There are a number of pencil notations in the text,…for instance dating many of the chapters according to their original newspaper publication, and there are a number of authoritative edits as well, which lead me to believe this was done in the author's hand, likely for subsequent publication. A bit of staining on front cover, else very good condition. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Documenting a dispute concerning the payment of a debt, as recorded in a partly printed notary "Protest" document, completed in manuscript and signed by Hamilton November 21, 1887, as a Mobile County notary public, with his official blindstamp; includes manuscript endorsements by three banks, from Mobile, New Orleans, and New York

Fredette (1924-2022) was a distinguished U.S. Air Force officer and historian, and the official biographer of Charles A. Lindbergh. In 1970, after his retirement, Col. Fredette contacted Lindbergh about his Medal of Honor, which he received in 1928 from President Coolidge, in honor of his historic flight. The two aviators met for lunch in Washington, D.C., and began discussions about writing an official biography. Lindbergh agreed and opened his private papers to Fredette, which were held at Yale University. After Lindbergh's death in 1974, Anne Morrow Lindbergh authorized Fredette to continue his writing, but after a dispute with his publisher, a book was never released. Fredette was the author of The Sky on Fire: The First Battle of Britain 1917-1918, which provides a detailed account of the German air raids over London and the defense mounted by the British Royal Flying Corps. A Military History of the Western World by British military historian John F.C. Fuller, from the private collection of Charles Lindbergh. This set was a gift from Lindbergh to his official biographer, Lt. Colonel Raymond H. Fredette. (illustratore). Signed.
