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.  A hardcover edition of this title is also available.  See https://joethebookguy.com/shop/animals/forty-miles-a-day-on-beans-and-hay-the-enlisted-soldier-fighting-the-indian-wars/
