The History of Corporal Fess Whitaker (1918) is an autobiographical book written by Fess Whitaker. The book chronicles Whitaker's experiences as a soldier during World War I, specifically his time serving in the United States Army's 92nd Division, an all-black unit. Whitaker provides a detailed account of his training, deployment to France, and his participation in several battles, including the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. Throughout the book, Whitaker offers his perspective on the racism and discrimination he and his fellow black soldiers faced in the military, as well as in society as a whole. He also reflects on the friendships he formed with other soldiers, both black and white, and the challenges they faced together on the battlefield. The History of Corporal Fess Whitaker provides a unique insight into the experiences of a black soldier during World War I, and sheds light on the racial tensions and inequalities that existed within the military and society during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
