Our First Ten Thousand is a historical account of the experiences of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Written by Chester Walton Jenks, who served as a captain in the 6th Regiment of the United States Marines, the book covers the period from the arrival of the first American troops in France in June 1917 to the armistice in November 1918. The narrative is based on the author's personal observations and experiences, as well as on interviews with other soldiers and official reports. The book describes the training, equipment, and tactics of the American troops, as well as their participation in major battles such as Belleau Wood, Ch�����teau-Thierry, and the Meuse-Argonne Offensive. It also provides insight into the daily life of the soldiers, including their interactions with French civilians and their struggles with illness, injury, and homesickness. Throughout the book, Jenks emphasizes the bravery and determination of the American soldiers, as well as the challenges they faced in adapting to the harsh realities of modern warfare. Our First Ten Thousand is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of World War I and the role of the United States in the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
