John Wiley & Sons Regular Army O
Book SynopsisAt once panoramic and intimate, Regular Army O! uses the testimony of enlisted soldiers - drawn from more than 350 diaries, letters, and memoirs - to create a vivid picture of life in an evolving army on the western frontier.Trade ReviewThis monumental study is the most complete rendering of the topic I have ever seen. With superb scholarship, Douglas McChristian provides in-depth knowledge on virtually every page. As one of the finest narrative writers working today, he writes entertainingly with subtle wit that can be hilarious, yet he concludes with all appropriate gravity that soldiers of the period, a racially and ethnically diverse lot, were competent overall and performed their duties earnestly and faithfully. McChristian knows his subject like no one else."" - Jerome A. Greene, author of American Carnage: Wounded Knee, 1890""Drawn from more than 350 diaries, reminiscences, and narratives preserved in libraries and archives far and wide, Doug McChristian's thoughtful narrative is a revealing and deserved homage to a remarkable class of ordinary men, soldiers barely known beyond their time but rightly remembered for their grit, steadfastness, and unfailing honor in a difficult and challenging time. This is a smart, richly rewarding book."" - Paul L. Hedren, author of Powder River: Disastrous Opening of the Great Sioux War
