Excerpt from From Poilu to Yank To the inquisitive reporter of a Phila delphia evening paper, who interviewed him on his arrival, he obligingly told the story of each star, every one of which rep resented a citation for bravery. When he reached the fourth, he told the following story, which in its essential part was pub lished in the Evening Bulletin in its issue of November 10, 1917, where it was read by thousands of people on that evening.

Excerpt from Poilu: A Dog of Roubaix N the twenty years of her married life Madame Daulac had never invested so many hard-earned francs, without first consulting her husband, as when she bought a puppy in the market of Roubaix. But there was an emergency, and monsieur was away from home attending the au tumn maneuvers of the Territorials, a duty which every French reservist owes to la patrie. And then, his opinion in the mat ter would not have been worth a sou. A wool-sorter in a famous carpet factory, he knew nothing about dogs, while madame's knowledge was that of a professional.

Contains 17 illustrations that the author took whilst in France. William Yorke Stevenson was one of a hardy bunch of American volunteers who joined the French army as an ambulance driver and was, indeed, a driving force behind American aid for the many wounded soldiers. As he was initially posted to the Verdun sector he would see the effects of some of the worst fighting on the entire Western Front which he recounted in his first book “At the Front in a Flivver”. His experiences continue in this volume which carries the action into 1917 and the further bloody battles that the French undertook to retake the ground lost to the Germans in 1916. Needless to say the casualties were horrific and Stevenson and his unit would show great courage in ferrying the injured from the frontlines to the hospitals in the rear. With the entrance of the United States into the lists on the Allied side, Stevenson and his men found themselves part of the official American effort, and passed from being a “Poilu” (a traditional name for a French infantryman - literally “hairy one”) to a “Yank”. A vivid and well-written account of service in the American Ambulance Corps with the French during the First World War.

Excerpt from Mr. Poilu: Notes and Sketches With the Fighting French My dear Alfred, - I ask you to accept the dedication of this little volume of notes and sketches, not only as a happy remembrance of our lifelong friendship, but also in recognition of your eminently successful efforts, during many years, to cement the friendly understanding of our country with the great nation of France. As you know, it has been my privilege to reside and to work in France during the last fifteen years - to have lived with the French in peace time and to have served them in war time. With such opportunity as a basis for my impressions, I welcome this occasion to record my whole-hearted tribute to the sterling character of the men and women of France. It is not alone an appreciation of their spirit, their courage and loyal devotion, for these qualities have been so abundantly confirmed in this war, and are well recognised traditions of their race; I would go further than this - I venture to express my respect and admiration for the French people of all classes. Knowing how keenly you feel the great advantages of increasing the understanding of the two great nations, I am both proud and grateful to have this opportunity of telling you of my admiration for all you have done and are doing, to bring about a closer union between the French and English nations for the betterment of the human race.

Excerpt from The Flying Poilu: A Story of Aerial Warfare Down in the garden beside a pond of still water I was profoundly busy feeding the heed less carp. From time to time their noses came to a level with the surface, shimmering in the noon day sun. Each protrusion caused a slight shiver to cross the imperturbable sheet of water, and a thousand little ripples Spread out towards the edges, caressing, just before disappearing, the trembling weeds. Little by little I was coming back to life, and in my resurrection I felt the delight of a child. It seemed as though I had experienced the complete re-education Of my senses.

Excerpt from The Smoked Yank Not long ago the publisher of this book and several others met in the office of Mr. Grigsby. The subject of our conversation was the reviving interest in war stories and reminiscences, evidenced by the prominence given to that class of literature by all the leading magazines of the day. Incidentally, Mr. Grigsby remarked that he had, in manuscript, a book written several years ago, narrating, what his sons called, his "Adventures in the War," which he designed, sometime, to have published in pamphlet form for distribution among his relatives and friends. Having previously heard that his experiences as a soldier were of an unusually varied and interesting character, my curiosity was aroused, and, yielding to my solicitations, Mr. Grigsby finally permitted me to see his manuscript. A careful reading convinced me that were it published in book form it would meet with a favorable reception, not only by the relatives and personal friends of the author, but also by thousands of veterans and sons of veterans, by all, in fact, who take an interest in the stirring incidents of our civil war. Frankly believing this, I persuaded Mr. Grigsby to have the book published under the title of the "Smoked Yank," and agreed to be responsible for the success of the enterprise. Whether or not my judgment was well-founded is for the public to determine. To my request for a preface, the author replied: "You have assumed the responsibility, and if you deem that explanations or apologies are due the reader, make them yourself." The publisher has none to offer. Sam T. Clover. Preface To Second Edition The real preface to this book is contained in the first chapter. This Second Edition, with Illustrations, goes out because the first was received with favor by the public, and the Author is daily in receipt of orders which he cannot fill.
