I heard back from the folks at Simply Charlotte Mason, and they have granted me permission to post a selection from my chapter submitted to their American history project. Please note that there has been no editing done on their end and the chapter will not be published for another year.
Taken from Corporal York Defeats the Machine Gun
"On the morning of October 8, Corporal York and the men of Company G look out across a broad field, over a mile wide with no cover to hide behind. The Germans are guarding this field zealously, because beyond this place lies the railroad that the Americans hope to capture. To lose this supply line will mean a great deal of trouble for the Kaiser, so the German commanders have placed their infamous machine guns along the ridges on the other side of the valley; they mean to keep it at all costs. The Americans know this, but all they can do is carry themselves like men and brave the field."
