WILL'S ARMY WORK: THE TOUR: ~INTRODUCTION~---the list of tour stops---other links---site navigation
These are pages - about Will's career and also about events related to his career before he was actually in the army as well as after he retired. I'm always finding more to add, especially from the Cincinnati years. The question is not how to find stuff, but rather how to decide what is worth including. I tend to come down of the side of inclusion, because there's so much that's interesting in Will's work - or anyway, I find it interesting.
I started out with the idea of this only being published items, but I'm starting to rethink this Tour a bit. We'll see where that leads....The first place it has led is to another tour, a prequel to this one:
There is a page on this website about Will's career that simply lists his promotions and his assignments. I'll be adding it to this Tour, eventually:
As is standard with the Tours, each stop in the Tour has links to the previous stop and the next stop in the Tour.
