Alvin York: The Man, The Myth, The Legacy - A Summary of Sgt. York's Life

Welcome to the Pall Mall Doughboys podcast by Sgt. Alvin York State Historic Park! We cover a wide range of topics related to World War I.

Today's episode is a summary of Alvin York's life so you can get to know the man we will be spending a few of our first episodes on.

This is a reading of a paper written by the late Dr. Michael Birdwell, a good friend of the park and former curator of the York Archives who passed away in 2022. To honor his memory we will be reading his paper titled "Alvin York: the Man, the Myth, the Legacy." We hope you find it interesting and informative.
