Francis Peghamagabow - Ghost in the Trenches

from History Goon · host Kevin Carleton

This should be a refreshing change from the last couple episodes. We’re off the the Peghamagabow was nobody, well less than nobody to the Canadian Government. He was a First Nations member of the Ojibwe Tribe that decided to volunteer to fight for a country that didn’t like him. He fought through the trenches, survived gas attacks and pulled some real life Metal Gear Solid stuff in No-Mans-Land. He was pretty fond of sneaking into enemy trenches and stealing or moving random things just to annoy the Germans. When the war ended he returned home from Europe as the most prolific sniper on EITHER SIDE of WWI. But just because he was home that didn’t mean he was done fighting, not by a long shot. I’m so glad that I found this guys name and had the opportunity to dig into his story.
