In the Fall of 1918, at the height of the terrible Meuse-Argonne Offensive in France, a former New York City Lawyer named Charles Whittlesey led his 500 American troops into the forest, where they would be trapped and surrounded by the German army. What followed was one of the greatest tales of endurance of the war, as they struggled to survive and escape capture and certain death.

Incredibly, Five days later, 194 survivors walked out of the ravine and into history...Join historical lecturer, tour guide and reenactor, Michael Jesberger for a discussion on one of the most heroic tales to come out of the First World War.
