More DescriptionThe original manuscript of Alvin C.York had been hidden away in his upper dress drawer for more than forty years before his oldest son George Edward Buxton York first discovered his daddy's little black composition book that was title as ''Sketch of life as it was'' written probably in the late 1920's. Alvin often quoted passages from it during his many lecturing tours across America in the thirties and forty's. Now, for the first time one can read the original third grade hand writings, and all in pencil like he wrote in his little pocket diary in the muddy soaked trenches of France. This never before discovered book is an important entry into American history. Many thanks to Rev.George Edward York for sharing this long lost composition book tucked neatly away for a accumulation of a hundred years or so.
