Mildred Aldrich (November 16, 1853 - February 19, 1928) was an American journalist and writer. *Biography* She was born in 1853 in Providence, Rhode Island. She grew up in Boston, taught at elementary school there and went on into journalism.She wrote for the Boston Home Journal, the Boston Journal and the Boston Herald. She started the short-lived The Mahogany Tree in 1892. In 1898, she moved to France, and, while there, became a friend of Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas.She worked as a foreign correspondent and translator. Aldrich moved to Huiry, near Paris, in 1914, only months before the outbreak of the First World War.Her house there overlooked the Marne river valley, and her experiences during the First Battle of the Marne, as detailed in her letters to friends in the U.S., constitute her first book, A Hilltop on the Marne (1915). Following the success of that work, Aldrich produced three more collections of her wartime letters. On the Edge of the War Zone (1917) contains letters dating from the aftermath of the Marne battle until the entry of the U.S. into the war, The Peak of the Load (1918) details most of the final year of the war, and When Johnny Comes Marching Home (1919) describes her experiences in the months immediately following the war's end. Aldrich also produced one novel, Told in a French Garden, August 1914 (1916), and in 1926 completed an autobiography entitled Confessions of a Breadwinner, which resides in the collections of the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University, but has never been published. Aldrich received the French Legion of Honor 1922 for her war work and her influence on behalf of the US entry into the war.In February 1928, she suffered a heart attack and died a few days later at the American Hospital in Neuilly.

A unique civilian's eye-view of World War I, depicting, through heartfelt letters from an American woman, a fascinating before and after picture of a French community in disarray What looked impossible is evidently coming to pass . . . I silently returned to my garden and sat down. War again! This time war was close by—not war about which one can read, as one reads it in the newspapers, as you will read it in the States, far away from it, but war right here—if the Germans can cross the frontier. A Hilltop on the Marne is a collection of letters written by Mildred Aldrich, an American expatriate who had bought a country farmhouse near Paris in the spring of 1914. Writing to her friends back home, she describes her idyllic life in Huiry, the minutiae of her farmhouse and her daily life. Ignoring the panicked pleadings of friends that she return to the U.S. As the political situation in Europe darkens, Aldrich stands firm in her decision to stay in France and her village, come what may. As war breaks out she looks out over Marne valley at the armies moving, hears the cannonade in the distance and watches as soldiers of all nations march down the lanes in turn. Aldrich's narrative goes on to describe the subsequent events of the war until America's entry into the fray and, returning to her narrative after the war, she described the process of rebuilding local life.

Excerpt from A Hilltop on the Marne: Being Letters Written, June 3 September 8, 1914 The author wishes to apologize for the constant use of the word English in speak ing of the Britifh Expedition to France. At the beginning of the war this was a colloquial error into which we all fell over here, even' the French press., Everything in khaki was spoken of as English, even though we knew perfectly well that Scotch, Irish, and Welsh were equally well repre sented in the ranks, and the colors they followed were almost universally spoken of as the English flag. These letters were written in the days before the attention of the French press was called to this error of speech, which accounts for the mistake's persisting 'in the book.

When she was 61 she retired as a drama critic and moved to a hilltop residence in France that overlooked the plain where the Battle of the Marne would occur.

She was awarded the Legion of Honor by the French government in 1922 for her war efforts.
