Prescott Valley

By: Jean Cross

When gold was discovered along Lynx Creek in 1863, the area that would later become Prescott Valley began to attract attention from the outside world. Miners came and so did the military, which established Fort Whipple in nearby Prescott but made use of Glassford Hill as part of a communication system. By the early 1900s, homesteaders, merchants, freighters, and ranchers had also arrived. As the 20th century progressed, what had been a peaceful stretch of grazing land known as Lonesome Valley gave way to a budding town finally incorporated in 1978 with 1,520 citizens. On the land where a volcano erupted long ago, mammoths once roamed, prehistoric people hunted, miners sought their fortunes, and ranchers herded cattle, Prescott Valley is today a thrivingand rapidly growingtown of more than 35,000 residents that has retained much of its small-town character and charm.

Napoleon at Work

By: Colonel Jean-Baptiste-Modeste-Eugène Vachée

At the turn of the 20th Century, the historical section of the French General Staff began to produce some of the most valuable and detailed studies of the Napoleonic period, and particularly Napoleon’s method for success in war. This upsurge in French military writing, and particularly of the period of greatest French success, was, not coincidentally, foreshadowed the upcoming hostilities with Germany during which Colonel Vachée was to serve in the French artillery. He wrote “Napoleon en Campagne”, of which this book is the English translation, to try to codify the rules of warfare for his contemporary French officers. Using the 1806 Jena campaign (an interesting counter viewpoint to Field Marshal Von der Gotlz’s - Jena to Eylau written from the Prussian point of view of the same campaign) as an example of Napoleon’s method of victory, Vachée gives a detailed account of the Emperor’s closest collaborators: Marshal Berthier, Generals Bacler d’Albe, Bailly de Monthion, Gourgaud, Montholon, Caulaincourt, his secretaries Bourienne, Méneval and Fain et al. He illustrates the methods used to inspire his men from the highest Marshal of the Empire to the lowliest grognard, and the punishments for failure, both on and off the battlefield. An excellent book, useful for the study of command in wartime and the Napoleonic methods in particular.
