Notes

Abstract: Camp Doniphan, located on the Fort Sill Reservation in southwestern Oklahoma, was not prepared for the soldiers who would descend upon it for training before crossing the Atlantic to join the fighting in World War I. Justin Prince depicts life for the new recruits at Camp Doniphan and explains how their training left them ill-prepared for modern warfare.
