Hillsdale could be any American town of its day, half modern and half rural, with a picture house in the old livery stable and hitching racks outside the stores. From its streets the novel follows young men into the First World War and across to the fighting in France, where a hot-tempered Irish sergeant nurses a private oath of vengeance.
A wartime novel written while the fighting was still under way, catching the mood of Americans who volunteered early. Download the free EPUB.
