What follows is what one pair of eyes observed. A brigade can spread over a wide area and it is obvious that no private in any unit could be every where at the same time in any area; hence no apol ogy is made for omissions.

Excerpt from The Tale of a Devil Dog
Beginning with the days of peace, prior to the Great World War, we attempt to describe the life of a Marine "rookie" in "boot camp" and the process of training that results in the making of a man. Then, in a cruise to the Tropics to where news of America's entry into the World War is flashed to the fleet, we lead on to the days of practice and action, cover concisely every offensive and defensive the Marines engaged in, enumerate many unusual and interesting incidents that occurred "over there," return home, and, once again take up the pursuits of peace. Our purpose is, primarily, to interest and entertain you with deeds not burdened with dates and places. In fact, no attempt is made to write a complete history of those terrible days and all that the Marines did during them.
What follows is what one pair of eyes observed. A brigade can spread over a wide area and it is obvious that no private in any unit could be everywhere at the same time in any area; hence no apology is made for omissions.
Reviews by qualified critics concede "The Tale of a Devil Dog" to be a worthy contribution to the record of the Marine Corps and we are glad to have collaborated in its production.
