Digging into one's family history can reveal unconventional surprises. In my case, Not long ago i discovered my great grandfather, Jesse C. Davisson's first-hand accounts of his 25-season armed service experience during an epic period in American record. Jesse was no angel when he first became a member of the Army in 1893, as an ordinary son in Philadelphia.

In fact, a few of the explanations of brutal killings and torture may not be suitable for some listeners. But also for many military record devotees and supporters, WWI scholars, and those who examine American history during this era, Jesse's report can not only educate - it'll reveal a sordid side of our own country's military record, which, up until now, has been either unfamiliar, or largely overlooked. "We all write through pain," a member of family told me after listening to Jesse's diary, and I could say with certainty, that this diary will need listeners to numerous amazing places, as it vacations back in time to when this country was not a land, but a series of staked claims, and territories. You might meet a motley crew of cattle rustlers, thieves, murderers, outlaws, and deserters, as Jesse himself, once became.
