Book excerpt: "This book - first issued in 1873 and almost unknown except to a few devotees - offers eighteen semi-fictional sketches of incidents in the pioneer Southwest. James W. Steele, a young Army officer stationed at remote outposts during the late 1860s, wrote from first-hand knowledge and with an experienced storyteller's skill. In these short-short stories with test endings you sense much of the flavor of O. Henry, who came later. Steele also had George Ruxton's alert ear for for frontier dialect and was perhaps first to record it for the Southwest. Above all, Steele was ahead of such historians as Frederick Jackson Turner and Walter Prescott Webb in realizing how the frontier changed people who lived there"--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Frontier Army Sketches But here, in mountain fastnesses and the dreary isolation of the wilderness, you strangely come upon the only genuine chivalry extant in American life. I may be taken to task for this Wholesale statement; for the over-busy, nervous, money-getting citizens of this great country claim all good qualities as their own. Therefore I will explain: Chivalry, in its essence, means not a careless but a careful regard for the opinions, feelings, and personal comfort of others, but more especially of women. Besides that, it means entire but polite candor, and no tricks in trade or anything else. It means that the affairs of life are conducted on honor. Cap tain Jinks in the wilderness practises this code, and has done so for so long that while staid and respectable citizens might smile at his punctilious ness, they, together with their wives and daughters, would find him a very pleasant companion, and might do well to try to find time to imitate some of his very foolish airs.
