Content
Scrapbook maintained by Carrie Gaulbert Cox, Louisville, Kentucky, containing 5 pages of personal correspondence and numerous newspaper editions and clippings concerning events during the first two years of World War I (August 1914-March 1916). Her interest may have been due to the fact that her husband, Atilla Cox, was in France during this time, serving with the American Red Cross and the U.S. Army. The anonymous correspondence originated in England and possibly Italy in October-November 1914. The numerous newspaper clippings, primarily from Louisville, Kentucky, and New York City publications, provide almost daily opinions regarding causes for and negotiations during the war. They also provide details of troop movements and battles as the war progressed.
