Book excerpt: While many prominent persons have received the attention of biographers, one-- a fervent participant in the nation's overseas expansion-- has not been examined in any significant way. This man, Frederick Funston, 1865-1917, was an adventurer, explorer, writer, soldier of fortune, and finally a war hero and professional member of the United States Army. The author presents a portrait of Funston's early years and a study of his colorful adult life. At the turn of the century, Funston first attracted public attention by his service with the Cuban insurrectos. Subsequently, he served his own country as a fighting man with the 20th Kansas Volunteer Infantry Regiment and won fame, honors, and a regular commission for his deeds during the Philippine Insurrection. His exploits and his opinions earned him both staunch friends and ardent foes. Consequently, the story of Frederick Funston's triumphs and tribulations reveals something about American society during that time. How this colorful and restless American finally joined the ranks of the regular army and why he often was such a controversial figure constitutes the theme of this study.

Book excerpt: "Such notable historical publications as this biography of Major General Frederick Funston, U.S. Army, 1865-1917, rest on two essential cornerstones: thorough research and lucid presentation. Clyde Toland has carefully and successfully incorporated both in his latest study of this courageous, colorful-and sometimes controversial-Kansan. Toland's work is an important and long-overdue contribution to United States historiography." Thomas W. Crouch, University of Texas at Austin, PhD in history, retired civilian historian for the United States Air Force, and author of the ground-breaking works, A Yankee Guerrillero: Frederick Funston and the Cuban Insurrection, 1896-1897 (1975) and A Leader of Volunteers: Frederick Funston and the 20th Kansas in the Philippines, 1898-1899 (1984) "With 'Yankee Hero, ' Clyde Toland brings to a close his Becoming Frederick Funston Trilogy about the early adventurous life of the future national hero, U. S. Army Major General Frederick Funston. Set in Cuba during its 1895-1898 war of independence from Spain, 'Yankee Hero' follows volunteer Funston as he fights for Cuban independence in multiple roles as a member of the artillery, infantry, and cavalry. Clyde Toland has traced a short in stature, rambunctious, adventuresome Allen County, Kansas, farm boy into a war-weary hero. Fred Funston became dedicated to freedom for Cuba in the war against Spain. Interest continues for a reader as Clyde Toland has maintained an understanding of the Funston family and how important letters were-back and forth to family and friends-even from the battlefield in Cuba to Allen County. Hats off to Clyde Toland for 'Yankee Hero' and a greater understanding of a small but greatly important part of our history." Nancy Kassebaum Baker, United States Senator from Kansas, 1979-1997 "The work of a distinguished independent historian and son of Kansas, this volume chronicles a period in American and Cuban history too little understood. It offers a vivid portrait of Frederick Funston as a young American who would soon be recognized as a national leader in civic and military life.The quality of the research that undergirds this work is remarkable. The author has called on sources rarely sought out by any but the most diligent of scholars. The attentive reader will especially value the rich body of primary materials that document this lively account of Funston's part in the fight for Cuba Libre. The scholarship is matched by the exceptional prose quality of the work, at once testament to the author's decades of success as a lawyer and his commitment of making history accessible to all." William J. Crowe, emeritus Dean of Libraries of the University of Kansas

Book excerpt: Praise for Toland's research and writing . . . "An engrossing, engaging, and superbly written account of 'Fearless Fred' Funston's formative years in rural Kansas, which molded the individual who would go on to command forces in the Philippines, earn a Medal of Honor, and ultimately command in 1917 the largest US Army since the Civil War. Clyde Toland's narrative clearly reflects Toland's life-long interest in Frederick Funston and Allen County, his impressive capabilities as a researcher, and his incisive analytical skills as a lawyer. The product of his work is a truly delightful read!"-General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA "Many are familiar with the Funston name due to Frederick Funston's famed military career, but his early life and adventures were just as noteworthy. Indeed, this part of his life was sometimes more exciting, if that is possible, and it was critical to his later success. No one is more eminently qualified to write about the young Frederick Funston than Clyde Toland. Clyde is, hands down, the leading Funston scholar, with decades of research and curation experience with the subject. It is wonderful to see Clyde's work come together in a new book series on Funston. In this volume, Clyde does not merely rely on the same repeated stories, but on a wide array of extensive research, which he critically examined for accuracy. His meticulous research and polished writing style create an indispensable book. I savored reading this book, including reading the detailed notes. Clyde's work on Funston is certain to become the seminal study on the subject."-Jarrett Robinson, BA History, MS International Relations, student of Frederick Funston's life for thirty years
