Noes: Considered a classic of western history. After the Civil War, regular army units replaced the volunteer units that had been “holding the fort.” Not really a volume on the Indian Wars, though that’s a significant part of the volume, more a look at the common snuffy and what he went through in far-flung western forts from the Canadian border south to Texas and west to California.
