In September 1849, twenty-three-year-old Sarah Davis, carrying her three-week-old daughter, left behind her parents, friends, and hometown to follow the rivers and trails to California. Traveling with her husband and other family members, she crossed rivers and mountain ranges, ate snow in July, witnessed a man whipped almost to death, saw her sister-in-law die from cholera, crossed the Great Salt Desert in today’s western Utah, and saw death and destruction along the Forty-Mile Desert in today’s Nevada. She began her ascent of the Sierra Nevada in a snowstorm; crossed the Sierra Nevada near Donner Pass; and arrived in Nevada City, California, in mid-October 1850. Through it all, Sarah remained cheerful and optimistic. This is her story. Accompanying web map: www.following-sarah.weebly.com

"The Armed Forces Officer" is much more than a how-to guide for military officers. It is a series of candid, timeless essays on the nature of the people who occupy the ranks of the military services. "The Armed Forces Officer" highlights that our military is not just a collection of machines, processes, and regulations, but a very human endeavor whose proper understanding requires acknowledging that humans are what make our military the complex, potent, and wonderful organization that it is—a truth that can be applied to any organization, military or civilian, composed of people and all their mysterious complexities. This is a republication of the 1950 edition of "The Armed Forces Officer." This edition includes an introduction and notes by Colonel Robert E. Davis, USMC (Ret).
