In the first episode, ribbon containing lowercase letters and clips is loaded into the text. The second group contains copies of different types of versions extracted from the first entry set during World War I between 1917 and 1919.

This note mainly records the military career of Pershing before 1917, some of which overlap with the diary of the First World War. The first note since 1882, when Pershing spent at the US military academy, was identified as his "student checkbook" or book. West Point, 1883 - 1884 and 1886, in the year he graduated, there were many notebooks covering most of his time.

In Pershing's notebook there is an explanation like a diary focusing on a specific military or diplomatic mission. The note from 1897 to 1889 recorded his service as a commander of Company A during the Spanish-American war. Notebooks from 1902 to 1903 addressed his experience in the Philippines, including the event of Lake Lanao. One of the notebooks of Lake Lanao contains an Arabic language agreement with Muslim leaders. Other notebooks recorded his duties as a military assistance in Tokyo and as a field observer during the Russo-Japanese War. Post-issue related to his exploration of Pancho villa in Mexico before he joined the First World War in the United States.

By 1905, the excellent military record of John J. Pershing asked Congress the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt asking parliament to give a diplomatic post to parsing as a Tokyo military commissioner to watch China's Russian war I gathered. In the same year, Pershing married her daughter Helen Francis Warren of Wyoming State Senator Francis E. Warren. They have four children. After Pershing returned from Japan, Roosevelt nominated him as brigadier, and Congress approved the movement, allowing Pershing to skip three levels and over 800 senior officers. The accusation of promotion of Pershing is due to political relations rather than his military strength. However, due to the appreciation of many officers for his talent, the controversy disappeared quickly.
