Anniversary of Pershing visit today
Washington May 28. Ten years ago today about 200 men in civilian dress formed the American expeditionary force staff headed by General John J. Pershing. Their secret departure from New York City to Governor's Island nearly spilled as two slips exposed the plan and Pershing narrowly escaped a fatal jump to a departing tug. The Baltic carried the staff to France and formed a rankless crew led by Captain George E. Adamson of Pershing's headquarters.
