Download or read book The Unregimented General written by Virginia Weisel Johnson and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1962, this is a wonderful biography of General Nelson A. Miles (1839-1925), one of America’s most celebrated generals. Author Virginia W. Johnson covers General Miles’ career; from his service in the Civil War and his incredible success in the Indian Wars—including the capture of Geronimo and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces—to serving as the Commanding General of the Army during the Spanish-American War. The Unregimented General is the portrait of a great frontier general, as distinguished as he was controversial. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs and maps by the author’s husband, Brig.-Gen. Walter M. Johnson. “The clear, crisp, action-filled narrative presents the wealth of concrete, significant detail that one expects of a good history [...] Mrs. Johnson knows the West, and graphically describes the hardships that Miles and his men endured while campaigning through extremes of heat and cold in desolate, wildly beautiful terrain.”—New York Times Book Review
