Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Leavenworth, Its Churches and Schools Buring his tour of duty at Fort Leavenworth, between 1905 and 1908, Chaplain John T.

Download or read book Sentinel of the Plains Fort Leavenworth and the American West written by George Walton and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, has played a vital role in the maturing processes of both the United States Army and the United States. Lewis and Clark, whose expedition introduced the Louisiana Purchase to the American people, were the initial instruments of that spirit of "Manifest Destiny" which eventuated in the establishment of Fort Leavenworth, a post that was to play an instrumental role in the "settling" of the West and every American war fought after 1827. The fort, built by Colonel Leavenworth between Missouri and Little Platte rivers, was, from its inception, located in a storm center of American history. The area known as Kansas adapted violently to civilization's cultivating hoe. Indians, the original landowners, through unhonored treaties and brute force, were systematically pushed off their land; Brigham Young and his "fanatical" brethren tried unsuccessfully to sink roots there; ferocious fighting between slave owners and abolitionists gave currency to the term "Bleeding Kansas"; during the Civil War Kansas was the scene of the savage battle known as "Gettysburg of the West." After the Union's victory and the eventual pacification of the area, the post became the first Army Tactical School in a pilot program that proved to be extremely successful; Eisenhower, MacArthur, and Patton were three of many Leavenworth graduates who distinguished themselves in World War II. The Fort and Kansas have experienced numerous transitions, but the importance of Leavenworth in America's defense is still vital today. Carefully researched and vividly written, George Walton's Sentinel of the Plains follows in fascinating detail the forced march American civilization made "from Sea to shining Sea" -- Book jacket.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In these journals, Colonel Richard Irving Dodge, a well-known chronicler of western history and an authority on Plains Indians, provides an important account of conditions in Indian Territory from 1878 to 1880, a period of rapid transition. The Cheyenne-Arapaho reservation in present-day western Oklahoma was the center of Dodge’s activity. His writings offer a firsthand record of the 1878 retreat of the Northern Cheyenne, the conditions endured by Indians who remained on the reservation, and the jurisdictional conflicts between Army personnel and representatives of the Office of Indian Affairs.

Book excerpt: America's armed forces were the products of one of the most diverse and dynamic religious cultures in the western world and were the largest ever to be raised by a professedly religious society. Despite constitutional constraints, a pre-war 'religious depression', and the myriad pitfalls of war, religion played a crucial role in helping more than sixteen million uniformed Americans through the ordeal of World War II, a fact that had profound and far-reaching implications for the religious development of post-war America.--Provided by publisher.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A valuable publication . . . A social historical case study of the conflicts of conscience experienced by countless families during the Civil War” (Civil War Books and Authors). When war broke out in 1861, Christian and Elise Dubach Isely, soon to be married, found themselves in the midst of the conflict. Having witnessed the atrocities of Bleeding Kansas firsthand and fearful of what would come from this war, Christian enlisted with the 2nd Kansas Cavalry to fight alongside Union forces. During the next three years, the couple would write hundreds of letters to each other, as well as to friends and family members. Their writings survive today, providing a unique look at the Civil War—one of both military and civilian perspectives—in a passionate exchange between husband and wife in which the war, faith, and family are discussed openly and frankly.
