- Volume titled, "An Account of My Personal Experiences During the Great War" by Frederic A. Adams. The volume goes into detail on Adams' experience during World War I, beginning with a note on his enlistment with the 1st Separate Battalion of Colorado Field Artillery in the summer of 1917, which he joined in order to get overseas as quickly as possible. He then quickly mentions training camp at Camp Baldwin, near Denver, CO, and quarantine for various epidemics, before spending the bulk of the volume detailing his travel to France and his experiences of the war there. This includes information on his training, speeches made by commanding officers, details of the trenches, and battles, such as the battle of Paris on July 15, 1918 and the St. Mihiel Offensive. The volume ends with his return to the United States and his discharge after the war in 1918. Note: the cover and blank pages have not been scanned.
