Book Synopsis Indians, Infants, and Infantry by : Merrill J. Mattes
Download or read book Indians, Infants, and Infantry written by Merrill J. Mattes and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the years of the Indian uprisings in the West, Elizabeth Burt followed her husband, Major Andrew Burt, from one lonely outpost to another, with their three small children, a crate of chickens, and a cow in tow. Indians, Infants, and Infantry, based largely on a 1912 manuscript Mrs. Burt derived from now-lostøletters and diaries, provides an intimate glimpse of life at Forts Kearney, Bridger, Laramie, and C. F. Smith from the 1860s through the 1890s. Historical events do not dwarf but only heighten the half-century love affair of a remarkable woman and a soldier whose distinguished career stretched from the Civil to the Spanish-American war. In addition to Mrs. Burt's manuscripts, Merrill J. Mattes drew on army records and other primary sources.
Book Synopsis Today Is a Good Day to Fight by : Mark Felton
Download or read book Today Is a Good Day to Fight written by Mark Felton and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Blood, guts, dust and hatred: the real history of the American West. Today is a Good Day to Fight covers the period from the initial penetration of the region by settlers and prospectors in the 1840s until the end of the Indian Wars in the 1890s. It explains the history of white-Indian conflict from the military point of view, showing how the United States used its army to wage terrible wars of conquest upon Native American peoples in order to take the land from them and enrich the growing nation, and how the Indians never really stood a chance in trying to defend their homelands. Highlighting the fractious and bitter relations between tribes unable and unwilling to unite in time to stave off their common enemy, it tries to portray the utter bitterness of the conflict between white and Indian, and how both sides resorted to increasingly foul acts of war and slaughter as the conflict progressed. A dirty, underhanded and scrappy conflict, the outrages committed by both sides fuelled bitterness and resentment that still exists in America today.
Download or read book Fort Missoula written by Tate Jones and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Fort Missoula] provided a home for the US Army in Montana from 1877 onward. Called into service almost by accident for the 1877 Nez Perce War, Fort Missoula hosted African American Buffalo Soldiers, aviation pioneers, early military automobile mechanics, Civilian Conservation Corps workers, World War II Italian and Japanese national internees, US military prisoners, and a variety of US Army and Navy units. The base bequeathed to its community a level of sophistication and a connection to the national story unique to the American West. Fort Missoula's architectural legacy also reflects the nation's journey from a frontier settlement to a world power"--Page 4 of cover.
Book Synopsis Montana Territory and the Civil War by : Ken Robison
Download or read book Montana Territory and the Civil War written by Ken Robison and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling portrait of how the passions of the Civil War played out among gold miners in the remote mountains of the West. In 1862, gold discoveries brought thousands of miners to camps along Grasshopper Creek—and by 1864, the Federal government had carved the Montana Territory out of the existing Idaho and Dakota Territories. Gold from Montana Territory fueled the Union war effort, yet loyalties were mixed among the miners. In this compelling collection of stories, historian Ken Robison illustrates how Southern sympathizers and Union loyalists, deserters and veterans, freed slaves and former slaveholders living side by side made a volatile and vibrant mix that molded Montana. Discover how fiery personalities like Union Colonel Sidney Edgerton and General Thomas Francis Meagher fought to keep order in the newly formed frontier, while brave Confederate and Union veterans and their hardy families created an enduring legacy that helped shape modern Montana.

Book Synopsis Saga of Chief Joseph by : Helen Addison Howard
Download or read book Saga of Chief Joseph written by Helen Addison Howard and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Saga of Chief Joseph, Helen Addison Howard has written the definitive biography of the great Nez Perce chief, a diplomat among warriors. In times of war and peace, Chief Joseph exhibited gifts of the first rank as a leader for peace and tribal liberty. Following his people’s internment in Indian Territory in 1877, Chief Joseph secured their release in 1885 and led them back to their home country. Fiercely principled, he never abandoned his quest to have his country, the Wallowa Valley, returned to its rightful owners. The struggle of the Nez Perces for the freedom they considered paramount in life constitutes one of the most dramatic episodes in Indian history. This completely revised edition of the author’s 1941 version (titled War Chief Joseph) presents in exciting detail the full story of Chief Joseph, with a reevaluation of the five bands engaged in the Nez Perce War, told from the Indian, the white military, and the settler points of view. Especially valuable is the reappraisal, based on significant new material from Indian sources, of Joseph as a war leader. The new introduction by Nicole Tonkovich explores the continuing relevance of Chief Joseph and the lasting significance of Howard’s work during the era of Angie Debo, Alice Marriott, and Muriel H. Wright.

Book Synopsis That Beautiful Little Post by : Gary Glynn
Download or read book That Beautiful Little Post written by Gary Glynn and published by Big Elk Books. This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of Fort Missoula, established in Montana Territory in 1877. "That Beautiful Little Post on the Bitterroot" as one commander dubbed it, played a prominent role in the Nez Perce War of 1877. During the 1890s the Fort Missoula Bicycle Corps experimented with the military use of two-wheeled transportation, culminating in 1,900 mile journey to St. Louis over primitve roads. The Fort was used during World War II as a Detention Center for interned Italian and Japanese citizens, and eventually became a Disciplinary Barracks housing hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers who had run afoul of the law.
Book Synopsis Buffalo Soldiers and Officers of the Ninth Cavalry, 1867–1898 by : Charles L. Kenner
Download or read book Buffalo Soldiers and Officers of the Ninth Cavalry, 1867–1898 written by Charles L. Kenner and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2014-08-04 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inclusion of the Ninth Cavalry and three other African American regiments in the post-Civil War army was one of the nation's most problematic social experiments. The first fifteen years following its organization in 1866 were stained by mutinies, slanderous verbal assaults, and sadistic abuses by their officers. Eventually, however, a number of considerate and dedicated officers, including Major Guy Henry, Captain Charles Parker, and Lieutenant Matthais Day, in cooperation with capable noncommissioned officers such as George Mason, Madison Ingoman, and Moses Williams, created an elite and well-disciplined fighting unit that won the respect of all but the most racist whites.
