| Summary |
In 1919, Royal Christian privately published a memoir based on his experiences in World War I as a professional valet for Colonel Moorhead C. Kennedy in Paris and London. This narrative is a unique contribution to the history of African American men in WWI. However, the book has been lost to public knowledge for almost a century. Pellom McDaniels III provides an edited and annotated version of Christian's memoir, supplemented by an extensive introduction and numerous archival photos and documents. |
