Alvin York is one of the most unlikely heroes of World War I. He was a simple, uneducated farmer from Tennessee who was drafted into the army in 1917. York was a pacifist and opposed the war, but he was eventually convinced that it was his duty to fight for his country. York's heroism in battle is the stuff of legends, but what makes his story even more remarkable is the number of prisoners of war (POWs) he captured single-handedly.
