"From Mail to Mountain is a great story, actually a great set of stories."
- Lieutenant General (U.S. Army, Retired) James M. Dubik, PhD. Former Commander, 2nd Brigade, 10th Mountain Division
"...a great honor to every 10th Mountain Division soldier..."
From Mail to Mountain is a detailed portrayal of the daily life of an Army private who served in World War II. Chuck Jackson enlisted in 1944, began his tour in Italy sorting mail, and quickly became an integral part of A Company, 86th Mountain Infantry Regiment, 10th Mountain Division. Despite having little mountain training, he scaled the side of Riva Ridge at night and went on to distinguish himself as an ammo bearer during the Apennine Mountains and Po River campaigns, for which he was awarded the Bronze Star. The author, John A. Jackson, uses documented activities gleaned from A Company morning reports along with experiences Chuck described, to envision and develop dialogue between Private Jackson and the soldiers around him.
Includes more than two dozen photos from the Tenth Mountain Division archives!!
