"Under Foch's Command: A Tale of the Americans in France" by F. S. Brereton is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century, during or shortly after World War I. The story revolves around American characters as they confront the turbulent events of the Great War, particularly focusing on their involvement in France and the complexities of loyalty amidst international conflict. The narrative likely explores themes of heroism, camaraderie, and the emotional stakes of warfare. At the start of the book, the narrative is set in a picturesque scene in the Rocky Mountains, capturing the vibrant atmosphere of spring as two young men, Jim Carpenter and Dan Holman, discuss the looming war and their desire to join the fight against the Germans. The mood quickly shifts with the announcement of America's declaration of war on Germany, igniting a wave of patriotic fervor among the characters. Shortly after, a tense situation arises when a German agent shoots a bartender, Charlie, leading the sheriff and a posse, including Jim and Dan, to pursue the antagonist into the dark, labyrinthine copper mine. The opening sets the stage for a thrilling adventure as the young men transition from their peaceful lives to the perilous journey of war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
