This book provides an informative look at warfare on the western frontiers, and the Indians’ futile attempts to cope with the U.S. troops. The author accompanied General Sheridan in the field for six months during which time he observed all aspects of Army life during an Indian Campaign. Sheridan strongly approved of the book and called it “a graphic history of the campaign.” The most interesting of all is the detailed account of the frontier Army on the march during a deadly Plains winter.
