Tomlinson is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and military career of General John Joseph Pershing, particularly focusing on his role as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I. Tomlinson aims to shed light on Pershing’s early life and the factors that shaped him into a prominent military leader, providing an overview that serves to inspire and inform readers about this significant figure in American history. The opening of the work sets a momentous tone by describing the historic landing of General Pershing in France on June 13, 1917, marking the first time U.S. troops were sent to fight in Europe. It depicts the scene at the Boulogne docks, showcasing the anticipation and solemnity felt by military officials and soldiers as they awaited the arrival of the American general. The narrative highlights Pershing’s character—his modesty, strength, and reluctant rise through military ranks—while foreshadowing the extraordinary achievements that defined his leadership during the war. The author emphasizes Pershing’s role not only as a military leader but as a representation of the American spirit and dedication to freedom and justice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
