  • Summary

  • A Connecticut man had a distinguished career in World War I as a member of the prestigious, 10-member motorcycle courier squad carrying top-secret documents on behalf of General John Pershing, head of U.S. forces in Europe. As the only non-professional motorcyclist on the squad, Carlton Stevens achieved notoriety when coming under gunfire while riding at top speeds in 1918 of 45 miles per hour. He was given an amazing task that set him apart in a dare-devil ride that held the fate of World War I in his satchel. The story is told by his grandson, Eric Stevens.
