Firing a Civil War Replica Cannon at Old Fort Jackson in Savannah, Georgia
Old Fort Jackson (usually shortened to Fort Jackson or Fort James Jackson but unrelated to Andrew Jackson) is a restored 19th century fort located two miles east of Savannah on the Savannah River. It is a National Historic Landmark and the oldest standing brick fort in the U.S. state of Georgia.[3]
U.S. President Thomas Jefferson authorized the construction of a national defense system of fortifications to defend his new nation. Jefferson's system included Fort Jackson, constructed between 1808 and 1812 over an old earthen battery from the American Revolution. At the time, war with Great Britain or France seemed likely, and Fort Jackson was the best site from which to protect Savannah from attack by sea. In the War of 1812, local militias and U.S. troops saw active duty at Fort Jackson. After the War of 1812, two periods of construction followed at the fort. A moat, drawbridge, brick barracks, privies, a rear wall, and another powder magazine were added.[3]
James Jackson, the namesake of the fort, was a British native who fought for the American cause and rose to the rank of colonel. When he was twenty-five, Jackson accepted the surrender of the British in Savannah at the close of the revolution. He was later a U.S. Representative, U.S. Senator, and Governor of Georgia. He is interred at the Congressional Cemetery in Washington, D.C..[3]
During the American Civil War, Fort Jackson, along with nearby Fort McAllister and Fort Pulaski, defended Savannah from Union attack. In 1862, Fort Jackson was shelled from a ship captained by an escaped slave named Robert Smalls.
When the Union Army commanded by William T. Sherman captured Savannah by land on December 20, 1864, Confederate troops abandoned the fort and retreated across the Savannah River into South Carolina. Confederate troops from Savannah joined other forces in North Carolina and South Carolina and continued to fight until April 26, 1865, when they surrendered to General Sherman's army at Durham, North Carolina. Several different regiments garrisoned Fort Jackson during the Union occupation of Savannah. One of these units was the 55th Massachusetts Regiment, which consisted of African American troops.[3]
From 1884 to 1905, Fort Jackson was known as Fort Oglethorpe and was little used by the U.S. military. It was purchased by the city of Savannah in 1924 for park purposes but not fully restored until the 1970s.[2][4]
Fort Jackson is located at 1 Fort Jackson Road,[4] on the Islands Expressway linking Savannah to Fort Pulaski and the town of Tybee Island.[2] Fort Jackson is owned by the state of Georgia and operated as a museum by Coastal Heritage Society, which also manages Savannah History Museum, Georgia State Railroad Museum (formerly the Railroad Roundhouse Museum), Savannah Children's Museum and, most recently, Pin Point Heritage Museum.[3] In the summer the fort has a daily cannon-firing demonstration. Admission is $7 for adult

The Greatest Road Trip in American History: Fascinating Account of Auto History (2002)
The 1919 Motor Transport Corps convoy was a long distance convoy carried out by the US Army Motor Transport Corps that drove over 3,000 mi (4,800 km) from Washington, D.C., to Oakland, California and then by ferry over to end in San Francisco. About the book:
Lt Col Charles W. McClure and Capt Bernard H. McMahon were the respective expedition and train commanders and civilian Henry C. Ostermann of the Lincoln Highway Association was the pilot (guide). Official observers included those from the Air Service, A.S.A.P., Coast and Field Artillery, Medical Corps, Ordnance, Signal Corps and Tank Corps including the then Brevet Lieutenant Colonel Dwight D. Eisenhower.
In addition to engineer and quartermaster units; the convoy had 2 truck companies of the 433rd Motor Supply Train;[5]:6 a medical unit with surgeon, medical, and dental officers; and a Field Artillery Detachment which provided the Maxwell crawler tractor[12] operated by a civilian.[5][13] The 81 total vehicles and trailers included 34 heavy cargo trucks, 4 light delivery trucks, 2 mobile machine shops, 1 blacksmith shop, 1 wrecking truck,[14] an Artillery Wheeled Tractor[15] that towed 9 trucks at once and was equipped with a power winch.[5]There were 2 spare parts stores, 2 water tanks, 1 gasoline tank, 1 searchlight[16] with electrical power plant truck, 4 kitchen trailers, 8 touring cars, 1 reconnaissance car, 2 staff observation cars, 5 sidecar motorcycles, and 4 solo motorcycles;[2]:7 as well as five GMC ambulances with two ambulance trailers, a 4 ton pontoon trailer (left in Omaha)[5]:18,23 and, possibly, a light tank, either a Renault FT or an M1917.[17][18] lashed to a flatbed trailer.[19]:74 Additional vehicle manufacturers included Cadillac, Dodge, F.W.D., Garford, Harley-Davidson & Indian (motorcycles), Liberty (trucks & a 2-wheel kitchen cart), Mack, Packard, Riker, Standardized, Trailmobile (two 4-wheel kitchen trailers), and White.[5] Dealers en route supplied gasoline and tires to the convoy; and the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company provided 2 trucks (Packard & White, each 2-ton) fitted with giant cord pneumatic tires and that carried spare standard tires.[10]:350 One Firestone truck detoured to Reno, Nevada, to have a new giant tire mounted.[20]
In the course of its journey, the convoy broke and repaired[21] wooden bridges[2]:10 (14 in Wyoming),[22] and practically all roadways were unpaved from Illinois through Nevada.[1]:4 The convoy travelled up to 32 mph (51 km/h),[10] and the schedule was for 18 mph (29 km/h)[23]:111 to average 15 mph (24 km/h).[24] The actual average for the 3,250 mi (5,230 km) covered in 573.5 hours[25] was 5.65 mph (9.09 km/h) over the 56 travel days for an average of 10.24 hours per travel day. Six rest days without convoy travel were at East Palestine, Ohio; Chicago Heights, Illinois; Denison, Iowa; North Platte, Nebraska; Laramie, Wyoming; and Carson City, Nevada. The shortest driving periods between control points were from Council Bluffs, Iowa, to Omaha, Nebraska (2 hrs for 5 mi) and Delphos, Ohio, to Fort Wayne, Indiana (6 hrs for 51 mi), while 4 days had average speeds over 9 mph (14 km/h): E Palestine OH to Wooster OH (9 hr for 83 mi), South Bend IN to Chicago Heights Il (8¾ hr for 80 mi), Jefferson IA to Denison IA (7½ hr for 68 mi), and Anderson's Ranch NV to Ely NV (8 hr for 77 mi).[25]
Convoy delays required extra encampments at Sewickley, Pennsylvania (July 11/12); Gothenburg, Nebraska (August 2/3); and Ogallala, Nebraska (5/6); which delayed arrival at Evanston, Wyoming, to August 16 instead of the scheduled August 13.[5]:2 To the next control point, the convoy travelled 166 miles (267 km) instead of the planned 88 and used extra camps at Echo, Utah (17/18), and Ogden, Utah (18/19); arriving at Salt Lake City on the 19th (vice the 14th). Despite travelling on the August 24 rest day, the convoy fell behind an additional day using 4 travel days instead of the 2 scheduled travel days from Orr's Ranch, Utah, through the Great Salt Lake Desert to Ely, Nevada; where the convoy arrived on the 24th (v. 18th).[5]:4 An extra travel day on mining roads[26] was used between Ely and Austin, Nevada; where the convoy arrived on the 27th (v. 20th), 348 mi (560 km) short of the scheduled point for the 27th (Sacramento). The convoy remained 7 days behind schedule through Oakland, California, where it arrived September 5 at 4 pm (v. the 29th). Foregoing a rest day originally scheduled for the day after arriving in Oakland, the convoy instead ferried to San Francisco[27] the next morning 6 days behind schedule and parked at the Presidio of San Francisco.
