WWI affected many people, even rural men from isolated valleys of Tennessee. Like countless others they were drafted, trained, and fighting in Europe in a flash. We will cover topics ranging from every day soldier life to big picture general topics about the Great War. Come learn the history that affected them on a world scale and personal scale.
Welcome to the Pall Mall Doughboys podcast by Sgt. Alvin York State Historic Park! We cover a wide range of topics related to World War I.
On this episode, we discuss the living history event titled "The Ascension of the Cumberlands" that was held at the park. This program is commemorating the march of federal troops through the Wolf River Valley in August of 1863 on their way to Knoxville, TN. This event spoke about forgotten stories of people that lived through the tumultuous time of the American Civil War in the valley - highlighting several first person accounts and stories - that directly impacted the likes of Alvin York and others that lived in the valley in 1917.
