Item Details

Description

[WWI]. [YORK, Alan, Sgt. (1887-1964)]. Sergeant York: His Own Life Story and War Diary. Edited by Tom Skeyhill. Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Doran and Company, 1928. 8vo. Original orange cloth stamped in blue (spine sunned, extremities soiled, joints cracked and starting, publisher’s Planning Department label affixed to rear cover, also with their stamp on the front free endpaper). YORK’S PERSONAL COPY WITH HIS CORRECTIONS. These corrections include: a canceled page affixed to p. 247, several pages torn out, several penciled notations on the front free endpaper asking the publisher to correct a list of pages, etc. York was one of the most decorated soldiers of World War I, receiving the Medal of Honor for killing at least 25 German enemy soldiers and capturing 132 prisoners during his raid on a machine gun nest. This feat made him a national hero back home in the U.S., which Hollywood soon pick up on, producing a film starring Gary Cooper about York’s WWI exploits, becoming the highest grossing film of 1941.
