Serving in World War I in Company C of the 102nd Infantry Regiment, Charles Leo Boucher or “Lucky Charlie” tells of his adventures and experiences during the war. He explicitly describes the horrors of fires and the terrors of traveling to the Mexican border. Charlie tells f his exhausting twenty-six mile a day journeys. I admire that in the edited version of Charlie’s war diaries, there are small blurbs of extra information along with illustrations, pictures, and diagrams. The maps are also…
turned into a war being fought for the freedom of slaves. Within the first few months following the document, the first African-American troops would serve in the Civil War. One of the most famous black regiments would become the 54th Maine, led by Robert Gould Shaw. The introduction of black regiments in the Union army would frighten the Confederates, since many of them were former slaves under the control of Southerners, and now they were in the war to protect the Union and earn their freedom.…

never saw anything so unprofessional.” Raina (ironically): “Oh! Was it professional to beat you?” Bluntschli here presents a realistic picture of war and satirizes Sergius’s and Raina’s romantic notion: “Well, come! Is it professional to throw a regiment of cavalry on a battery of machine guns, with the dead certainty that if the guns go off not a horse or man will ever get within fifty yards of the fire?” When Raina inquires about the in-charge of the cavalry, Bluntschli satirizes her…
World War II (WWII) was by no means completely burden-free for any ethnic group that had existed prior to the inception of the war. In the United States alone, groups such as the Jewish, African Americans, Women, Japanese, and Native Americans had all fought for their own domestically respective issues. With the start of the war came significant population deficits, blatant and unprecedented racism, and common economical upheavals. These issues reiterated the hard truth that no party was…
soldiers with only 300 Spartan men at the battle of Thermopylae (even though they all died.) Those are the things I do know. There are a lot of facts I don’t about Sparta. I have three major questions. They are the following: what was the real training regiment for the boys of Sparta versus the myths and legends that are circulating in the world today, what were the roles…

The Civil War: Harriet Tubman’s Fight in Freedom The United States was still such a young country, not even a full century old, when the Civil War broke out. The U.S. had banded together and became independent of Britain, and now were on to face separate ideas and morals within their nation. Many people from both the north and the south would have a great impact in the Civil War and the outcome it would have on the future of the United States. One such person was Harriet Tubman, a…
Antonio de Padua María Severino López de Santa Anna y Pérez de Lebrón, the general of the Mexican army, was intelligent, dynamic, ambitious, and egocentric. He was so smart that he dropped out of school and quit his apprenticeship to a merchant because he was intellectually unchallenged. In relation to this, Anna never stopped moving; if he did, he would collapse into a spiral of gambling and wenching. To say the least, he was quite the vehement man. Anna, as described by Donald J. Mabry, had an…
