Preface

LOCAL HISTORY has attracted greater interest as people recognize that everyday events are the building blocks of the national experience. This monograph describes a microcosmic part of the 1914-1918 war effort of the American people.
 

Foreword

Foreword

AS A YOUNGSTER, growing up in the area once occupied by Camp Greene was a treat. There were always stories about how the area was once covered with buildings and training equipment for the World War I soldiers. But during the 1960s and 70s there were few physical reminders of Camp Greene.
