On this episode of Our American Stories, Sgt. Alvin York— the reluctant World War I infantryman who became an American legend—has stood as a symbol of courage and sacrifice for over a century. The Tennessee mountaineer whose religious convictions at first kept him from fighting became the recipient of the Medal of Honor and nearly 50 other decorations for single handedly capturing (132) or killing (28) an entire German machine‐gun battalion. Here to tell the story is JD Phillips, who runs the popular YouTube channel, The Appalachian Storyteller.
