I wanted to tell you about a podcast that I think you will really enjoy. It is called Everything Everywhere Daily.

 

If you are a remotely curious person, and let’s face it–if you are listening to this podcast, you are more than a remotely curious person–you’ll love Everything Everywhere Daily. 

 

Every day you will get short episodes averaging about 10 minutes, which tell stories from every era of history, as well as explain subjects relating to technology, science, and geography.

 

You can learn something new every day, often about topics that you didn’t even know you didn’t know about. 

 

So here is a full episode of the show on a topic I think you might enjoy.

We have had some folks ask, so we have delivered. Guests on this impromptu episode are Robert J. Laplander and Alexander Curran. 

 

This is an unfiltered recap of our recent trip to France! While there we conducted a field recon for the Doughboy MIA project that made some wonderful and important friendships for us. Our newest team member, Alex, discusses a Doughboy MIA case that is very close to him personally.

 

Also discussed is the amazing opportunity to walk a 103-year-old diary written by a member of the Lost Battalion saga back through the very Argonne Forest where its pages were first filled. This was an unforgettable day that saw several World War One enthusiasts come together for a poignant walk through history-laden woods. 

 

Come join our discussion and relive some of our best moments. Don’t forget – you can join us and experience the same ground with Lost Battalion Tours.

Author James Carl Nelson joins me in discussing his latest book, “The York Patrol: The Real Story of Alvin York and the Unsung Heroes Who Made Him World War I’s Most Famous Soldier.” 

 

The passing of a century and other events has worked to create and solidify the legend of SGT Alvin York, where the story goes that York single-handedly (or nearly so) took on the German Army, killed some 25 enemy soldiers, and then captured 132 more. More recently, the story has been garnering attention for the fact that sixteen other men were part of and present for what is known as the York Patrol.

 

Mr. Nelson’s “The York Patrol” is but the latest book to cover the ongoing legend of SGT York, perhaps America’s most famous Doughboy of WW1:
