Fore<\/strong><\/div>\n<blockquote><p>Camp Sevier was a temporary cantonment site in Greenville County created to train federalized National Guard soldiers during World War I. It was named in honor of the Revolutionary War hero <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/John_Sevier\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John Sevier<\/a>, a leader of patriot militia at Kings Mountain and later governor of Tennessee. Soldiers from South Carolina began to occupy the site, four miles northeast of the city of Greenville, on July 10, 1917. Construction began a week later, and the formal establishment of the post took place on July 18. During the next two months, various National Guard units from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee began to arrive at the camp. Before training could begin in earnest, the land had to be cleared and facilities constructed. Once all units had reported, soldiers were trained in a range of common infantry skills and in new modes of warfare, such as gas defense and the use of the machine gun. Covering some nineteen hundred acres, the camp provided ample room for artillery instruction as well. This first group of guardsmen was formed into the Thirtieth, or \u201cOld Hickory,\u201d Division, which trained at the post until May 1918 and was followed by the Eighty-first and Twentieth Divisions, respectively. In all, an estimated 100,000 men had undergone vital training at Camp Sevier by the spring of 1919. With the signing of the Armistice on November 11, 1918, the post was designated as a demobilization center on December 3 and was closed as a military training facility on April 8, 1919.<\/p>\n<p>Doyle, Alex C.\u00a0<em>Completion Report of Camp Sevier, Greenville, S.C.\u00a0<\/em>Greenville, S.C., 1919.<\/p>\n<p>Huff, Archie Vernon, Jr.\u00a0<em>Greenville: The History of the City and County in the South Carolina Piedmont.\u00a0<\/em>Columbia: University of South Carolina Press, 1995.<\/p>\n<p>Withington, Frances Marshall. \u201cCamp Sevier, 1917\u20131918.\u201d\u00a0<em>Proceedings and Papers of the Greenville County Historical Society\u00a0<\/em>4 (1971): 76\u201385.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/August-Modern-Library-Nonfiction-Books\/dp\/034538623X?_encoding=UTF8&amp;qid=&amp;sr=&amp;linkCode=li3&amp;tag=johnmichael0d-20&amp;linkId=3a7642370634c24f64a76c47a4e34791&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_il\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HGbqlk noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=034538623X&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=johnmichael0d-20&amp;language=en_US\" alt=\"\" width=\"166\" height=\"250\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=johnmichael0d-20&amp;language=en_US&amp;l=li3&amp;o=1&amp;a=034538623X\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HGbqlk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Guns of August Paperback \u2013 March 8, 1994<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>by Barbara W.

Tuchman\u2019s classic histories of the First World War era<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In this landmark, Pulitzer Prize\u2013winning account, renowned historian Barbara W. Tuchman re-creates the first month of World War I: thirty days in the summer of 1914 that determined the course of the conflict, the century, and ultimately our present world. Beginning with the funeral of Edward VII, Tuchman traces each step that led to the inevitable clash. And inevitable it was, with all sides plotting their war for a generation. Dizzyingly comprehensive and spectacularly portrayed with her famous talent for evoking the characters of the war\u2019s key players, Tuchman\u2019s magnum opus<i>\u00a0<\/i>is a classic for the ages.<\/p>\n<p><b>Praise for\u00a0<i>The Guns of August<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cA brilliant piece of military history which proves up to the hilt the force of Winston Churchill\u2019s statement that the first month of World War I was \u2018a drama never surpassed.\u2019\u201d<b>\u2014<i>Newsweek<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore dramatic than fiction . . . a magnificent narrative\u2014beautifully organized, elegantly phrased, skillfully paced and sustained.\u201d<b>\u2014<i>Chicago Tribune<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n<i>\u00a0<\/i><br \/>\n\u201cA fine demonstration that with sufficient art rather specialized history can be raised to the level of literature.\u201d<b>\u2014<i>The New York Times<\/i><\/b><br \/>\n<i>\u00a0<\/i><br \/>\n\u201c[<i>The Guns of August<\/i>] has a vitality that transcends its narrative virtues, which are considerable, and its feel for characterizations, which is excellent.\u201d<b>\u2014<i>The Wall Street Journal<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>AND There Were More&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/john-michael.net\/index.php\/about-john-michael\/\">John Michael<\/a>&#8216;s book Images of America &#8211; Fort Myer highlighted\u00a0 the\u00a0 Remount Service of the United States Army and the companion website for the book drilled down even further to provide insight into the major remount depots &#8211;\u00a0 there were just four and referred to the fact there were 39 substations across the United States <a href=\"https:\/\/historic-fortmyer.com\/index.php\/2011\/03\/23\/when-the-us-army-moved-by-horse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">When the US Army Moved by Horse<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1685\" style=\"width: 465px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1685\" class=\"wp-image-1685\" src=\"https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/service-pnp-pan-6a33000-6a33700-6a33703v.jpg\" alt=\"310 Auxiliary Remount Depot, Major Hayden W.

The American diplomat, George Kennan, described the war as \u201cthe seminal catastrophe of this century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the war did much more than cause a global massacre. It allowed millions of women to enter the workforce, featured the initial step of the United States as a world power, and helped to transform Greenville into the city it is today.<\/p>\n<p>Building a camp<br \/>\nWhen the United States declared war on Germany in April 1917, Secretary of War Newton Baker ordered the construction of 32 training camps, according to local historian and documentary filmmaker Don Koonce. \u201cMost of these cantonments or training camps were to be spread across the Southeast where moderate weather would provide more training days and shorter preparation time before sending the men overseas,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Local business leaders sensed an economic opportunity and began lobbying for a camp soon after. They were successful. In July 1917, the U.S. Army appointed Greenville\u2019s J.E. Sirrine &amp; Co. and Gallivan Construction to build a 1,900-acre training camp near the base of Paris Mountain for the newly created 30th Infantry Division, which was composed of National Guard soldiers from South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>The division was nicknamed the \u201cOld Hickory\u201d division in honor of U.S. president Andrew \u201cOld Hickory\u201d Jackson, who was born near the borders of the three states.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1699 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-1024x690.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-768x518.jpg 768w, https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-1536x1035.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1-600x404.jpg 600w, https:\/\/john-michael.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMAG0028-1920x1294-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Soldiers from the 1st South Carolina Infantry arrived in Greenville soon after and began to construct the camp, according to Koonce. About 20,000 additional soldiers arrived in the following weeks, and by Aug. 31 the camp was considered complete. It was named Camp Sevier in honor of John Sevier, a Revolutionary War hero, and Tennessee\u2019s first governor.<\/p>\n<p>The camp included divisional headquarters, drill grounds, YMCA facilities, stables, a chapel, a bakery, a post office, a library, more than a dozen warehouses, and at least four medical buildings. It was also equipped with electricity, running water, and telephone and telegraph lines. The camp, however, did not have barracks, according to Koonce.
