Abstract:
Ripley recounts the organization, training, battles, and demobilization of the 30th Infantry Division in World War I. Components of the Division were drawn from National Guard units, and half of the Division came from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. Some units, including the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd NC Infantry Regiments, had just returned home from Federal service on the Mexican Border during 1916-1917. When it came time to choose a nickname for the Division, the Southern soldiers suggested President Andrew Jackson's, and the Division officially was known as the \"Old Hickory Division.\"
