Night on the Outpost Turns Humorous for Soldiers
Pershing's men endure a tense night of vigil under stars and cacti when a Mexican figure approaches. Staley and Creuse remain brave as a bush mistaken for a man triggers a wary advance. Morning reveals a harmless mesquite bush and a lighthearted joke among the troops. Meanwhile, Berlin reports sixty-one enemy merchant ships sunk in June by Austro German submarines and mines. Sharks hinder Florida fishermen as huge schools disrupt the W. D. Cash’s outing.

Boone's Place in History a Pioneer Figure
Kentucky's early days were perilous as frontier life reshaped the region. Daniel Boone emerged as a symbol of pioneer vigor, leaving a mark on the dark and bloody ground that bordered settlement and exploration. From Pennsylvania to North Carolina and into Kentucky, his life embodied the westward drive to tame the wilderness, a saga captured in Helen Nicolay's Century Magazine framing of Boone as ordained to settle the wilds.
