I would give it to the World War I Museum.  This seems the most logical.

Good morning:

 

The Mount Calm Library recently received a typewritten 25-page document
detailing the history of Ambulance Company No. 1. The author is unknown. 

 

The Company was originally organized at Ft. D. A. Russell, Cheyenne, WY in
1911; in 1915 was transferred to Ft. Bliss, El Paso, TX; in Nov. 1917 the
company left for overseas, arriving in Saint Nazaire, France on Dec. 2. 

 

The documents lists the day-to-day activities of the company and also
includes a listing of all its personnel, including some home addresses and a
list of all those killed, wounded, & gassed.  The company was made up of men
from all over the U.S. - no special concentration from any one state.

 

What shall I do with it? It would find little usage here at Mount Calm.
Should I send it to the World War I Museum in Kansas City? Or does someone
have a better idea for its preservation?  I would also be glad to give it to
a genealogical library.   Thanks for your advice -
