A Story Rooted in History
Set during a time when economic hardship and the looming threat of war gripped the nation, Army Letters follows the journey of Alex Smoot, a young man from Maryland’s Eastern Shore. With few opportunities and a desire to relieve his family of financial burden, Alex enlists in the Army, joining the 19th Infantry. Stationed in Hawaii, he prepares for the defense of the Pacific as Japan’s war machine gathers momentum.
Life Told Through Letters
In his own words, Alex’s letters provide an intimate glimpse into the life of a soldier far from home. From the struggles of Army life during the Great Depression to the bittersweet joy of staying connected to his family through letters, these writings are both a historical treasure and a testament to the human spirit.
Readers will be transported to an era of uncertainty, where love, hope, and determination carried young men and their families through turbulent times.
