Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Marquis James (1891 – 1955) wrote the attached profile of A.E.F. general John Pershing that first appeared in a magazine intended for American veterans of that war:
• Ever hear about the time the C-in-C saluted a French cow?
• Did you know he had the right to put ‘Attorney at Law’ after his name?
• That he was given eight hours extra guard duty for a breach of discipline at West Point?
• Do you know why he was chosen to command the A.E.F.?
