[History Hounds] I Hope This Reaches You: An American Soldier’s Account of World War I with Hilary Connor, Author

I Hope This Reaches You: An American Soldier’s Account of World War I begins in May 1917 with Byron Fiske Field, a pacifist student at Albion College, boarding a morning train bound for Detroit with one objective in mind: to help the United States win the war against Germany. Join the presenter to follow Field’s story through his written diaries, books, and more than 300 letters penned during the war.
