  • 10, George C. Marshall
    'The views expressed are those of the author and do not reflect the official policy or position of the US Air Force, Department of Defense or the US Government.'" USAFA Harmon Memorial Lecture #10 “George C. Marshall: Global Commander” Forrest C. Pogue, 1968 It is a privilege to be invited to give the tenth lecture in a series which has become widely-known among teachers and students of military history. I am, of course, delighted to talk with you about Gen. George C. Marshall with whose career I have spent most of my waking hours since1956. Douglas Freeman, biographer of two great Americans, liked to say that he had spent twenty years in the company of Gen. Lee. After devoting nearly twelve years to collecting the papers of General Marshall and to interviewing him and more than 300 of his contemporaries, I can fully appreciate his point. In fact, my wife complains that nearly any subject from food to favorite books reminds me of a story about General Marshall. If someone serves seafood, I am likely to recall that General Marshall was allergic to shrimp. When I saw here in the audience Jim Cate, professor at the University of Chicago and one of the authors of the official history of the U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II, I recalled his fondness for the works of G.A. Henty and at once there came back to me that Marshall once said that his main knowledge of Hannibal came from Henty's The Young Carthaginian. If someone asks about the General and Winston Churchill, I am likely to say, "Did you know that they first met in London in 1919 when Marshall served as Churchill's aide one afternoon when the latter reviewed an American regiment in Hyde Park?" Thus, when I mentioned to a friend that I was coming to the Air Force Academy to speak about Marshall, he asked if there was much to say about the General's connection with the Air Force.

  • PIERPONT L. STACKPOLE DIARY Introduction
    PIERPONT L. STACKPOLE DIARY Introduction The Pierpont L. Stackpole Diary was kept by Lieutenant Colonel Stackpole from January 1918 to August 1919 while he was aide-de-camp to General Hunter Liggett in World War I. The diary is in both script and typescript; photocopies of the original forms have been placed within the collection for use by researchers. The Boston law firm of Chapin, E. Barton, Warner, Stackpole, Stetson, and Bradlee donated the diary in 1966. Stackpole was a member of that firm from 1900 until his death in 1936. A brief biography of Stackpole (1875-1936) as well as a photocopy of a letter sent by George C. r~arshall on the occasion of Stackpole's wedding are in the Stackpole donor file in the Foundation's main office. Access to the diary.)which occupies four document boxes, is unrestricted. PIERPONT L.
