Military Historian to Discuss Gen. Pershing

Shawn Faulkner, professor of military history at the U.S. Army General Command and Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, will deliver “John J. Pershing: From Missouri to the Meuse Argonne” at 7 p.m. March 15 in Baldwin Hall Little Theater.

This event is part of the annual Kohlenberg-Towne Lecture Series and the History Department’s continuing effort to help the University commemorate the centennial of the Great War. This topic is particularly noteworthy in that Pershing was a student at Truman before he went on to West Point and then to lead all American troops in World War I.
