INTRODUCTION
The troopships "Somali," "Tydeus," and "Nagoya" rubbed the Bakaritza and
Smolny quays sullenly and listed heavily to port. The American doughboys
grimly marched down the gangplanks and set their feet on the soil of
Russia, September 5th, 1918. The dark waters of the Dvina River were
beaten into fury by the opposing north wind and ocean tide. And the
lowering clouds of the Arctic sky added their dismal bit to this
introduction to the dreadful conflict which these American sons of
liberty were to wage with the Bolsheviki during the year's campaign.
In the rainy fall season by their dash and valor they were to expel the
Red Guards from the cities and villages of the state of Archangel,
pursuing the enemy vigorously up the Dvina, the Vaga, the Onega and the
Pinega Rivers, and up the Archangel-Vologda Railway and the
Kodish-Plesetskaya-Petrograd state highway. They were to plant their
entrenched outposts in a great irregular horseshoe line, one cork at
Chekuevo, the toe at Ust-Padenga, the other cork of the shoe at
Karpagorskaya. They were to run out from the city of Archangel
