Publisher's Synopsis

""Letters Of A Plattsburg Patriot"" is a collection of letters written by John Bryson Barnes, a young American man who attended the Plattsburg training camp in 1916, before the United States entered World War I. The book is a fascinating glimpse into the mindset of young men at the time, as they prepared themselves for the possibility of war. Barnes writes about his experiences at the camp, his thoughts on patriotism and duty, and his hopes for the future of America. The letters are full of vivid descriptions of life at Plattsburg, including the physical and mental challenges of training, the camaraderie among the men, and the sense of purpose that they all shared. Barnes also reflects on the broader political and social issues of the day, including the role of women in society, the treatment of African Americans, and the importance of education. Overall, ""Letters Of A Plattsburg Patriot"" is a compelling and insightful look at a pivotal moment in American history, as the country prepared to enter the global conflict that would shape the 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
