“Searching for John DeWitt is a touching testament to the lived experiences of American veterans of WWI, an invaluable reference for historians, and a poignant tribute by a grandson to a beloved grandfather. Highly recommend.” - Independent Book Review

"Searching for John DeWitt is more than a discovery of a distant family member’s lost story. It is a story of finding a family’s heritage and their own place in history. Moreover, it is the story of how past relatives shape the current generations. An important contribution to American wartime history reminiscent of Ken Burns’ epic movie The Civil War, John Chase brings the story into context and relevance."
- Michael S Repass, Major General, U.S. (retired)

"John Chase brings to life the details of one of the most hazardous jobs of soldiers during World War I – the Runner. Through long-forgotten letters home, this story offers an enlightening view of the war from both the front lines and the home front, giving readers a renewed appreciation for what it was like to serve in the Army during World War One." - H. Lee Dixon, Retired Air Force Colonel

“I was captivated by learning of the past through a trove of personal letters between a young American and his friends and family back home. John Chase brings to life the details of one of the most hazardous jobs of soldiers during World War I – the Runner. This powerful narrative offers a renewed appreciation for what it was like to serve in the Army during World War One, and John's storytelling gives these brave men a reserved place among the brave."
- Colonel Steve Mosier, Retired, Former Vice Commander 49th Fighter Wing

"John Chase does an incredible job of recounting the story of his grandfather and the horrors of World War I. This book serves as an homage to John Ryder DeWitt, revealing the details of his experiences in France. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages, but for those truly interested in World War I, this is a must-read."
