| Summary | "The White Road of Mystery: The Note-Book of an American Ambulancier" by Philip Dana Orcutt is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the experiences of Orcutt as an ambulance driver, or ambulancier, during World War I, specifically focusing on his service with the American Field Service. This narrative provides an intimate portrayal of the life and struggles faced by those who volunteered to aid wounded soldiers, highlighting the horrors of war alongside moments of camaraderie and resilience. The opening of the book sets the stage for Orcutt's journey as he and his fellow ambulanciers are propelled into the chaos and uncertainty of war. He describes the process of their departure from Paris, the solemn yet determined spirit as they encounter the ravaged landscapes of France, and the gripping anticipation as they approach the front lines. The ambulanciers experience both excitement and dread as they confront the realities of combat, moving from towns marked by destruction to the relentless sounds of artillery fire. Orcutt's reflections on the individuals they meet, the tangible impacts of warfare, and the challenges of their crucial role as first responders provide a deeply human perspective on the broader narrative of World War I.
