September 4, 1919. Sacramento to Stockton on the Motor Transport Convoy, 48 mile sin 7.25 hours.

General Pershing and officers of a composite regiment aboard U.S. transport Leviathan, Sept. 4, 1919

On this day in 1919, the Motor Transport Convoy, near the end of its destination, went 48 miles in 7.25 hours.


The Cadillac was about worn out.  And it seemed like the command was as well.

Maybe they needed a vacation, like the Gasoline Alley gang was contemplating.


Somebody who wasn't taking a vacation was President Wilson, who was touring the country promoting the Versailles Treaty.
