Dive into North Carolina’s WWI story as soldiers train, ship out, and fight in the first American front lines. This vivid record follows the Thirtieth Division from camp Sevier to major battles in France, honoring the people and places that helped shape a nation.

From mobilization to front-line duty, this history centers on the men and units drawn from the Carolinas and Tennessee. It captures their grit, their high hopes, and the tough realities of trench warfare and open combat as they earned the nickname All‑American and the fire of Old Hickory.
