Bag om Otis Leader

Amid the growing tensions of WWI, Otis W. Leader--a thirty-five-year-old widower of Chickasaw, Choctaw, Cherokee, and Irish descent--left behind three children, his job, and his home in Oklahoma to enlist in the Army.

In Otis W. Leader: The Ideal American Doughboy, author Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer explores Leader's time during and after the Great War to construct an unprecedented war memoir, bringing to light an uplifting story in Leader's own words of endurance, bravery, and perseverance throughout unforgettable battles on the infamous Western Front.
