Produced by David Widger "The Glory of the Coming" by Irvin S. Cobb is a collection of wartime articles written during the tumultuous summer of 1918. This work, crafted amidst the backdrop of World War I, serves as a reflective account of the author's experiences and observations of American soldiers and their endeavors on foreign fronts, portraying their growth and transformation during the conflict. Cobb’s perspective provides readers an intimate glimpse into the American Expeditionary Forces as they rise to meet the challenges facing them, underscoring themes of honor, sacrifice, and national pride. The opening of the text reveals Cobb's experiences as a war correspondent, capturing his initial impressions of American soldiers as they embark on the journey to the battlefields of Europe. He vividly recalls the moment of departure on a troop ship, highlighting the atmosphere aboard and the uncertainty that looms over the mission. His observations range from the stark reality of troop mobilization to the heartbreaking sinking of the troopship "Tuscania", which carries American soldier boys into the depths of the sea during a German submarine attack.
