Description

Leslie's Weekly was an American illustrated literary and news magazine founded in 1852 and published until 1922. This special publication includes many photographs, illustrations, and stories culled from its coverage of World War I. It features a section written by General John J. Pershing about his own experiences during the War, and a reprinting of “Why America Entered the War,” an address delivered on April 2, 1917 by President Woodrow Wilson. Prominent among the collection of historic photographs are the exlusive pictures by LESLIE'S own staff of war photographers and correspondents--including James H. Hare's photographs from the battlefields of France and Italy; Donald Thompson's from Russia and Siberia; Lucian Swift Kirtland's from the Russian fronts, and the famous flying pictures of Zinn. Physical Description: # Pages: Unknown Dimensions: 14 1/4" x 10 1/2" x 1" Army green hard cover binding. Front cover image and text printed on paper that is pasted to the hard cover. The paper consists of a colored image of General Pershing at the Arch of Victory with the title of the book in black, centered at the top.
