Book excerpt: Philippe Régis de Trobriand was a French aristocrat, lawyer, poet, and novelist who served in the American Civil War and later in the Indian Wars. In this fascinating look into the rumbling post-Civil-War volcano that was brewing between whites and Indians in Dakota Territory, this educated observer saw and recorded the events that were heading toward a boil.Witty, perceptive, and a proven soldier, de Trobriand knew all of the famous generals from the Civil War and worked with some of them on the frontier. Red Cloud, Sitting Bull, Gall, Crazy Horse, and other soon-to-be-famous chiefs and warriors were already on de Trobriand's radar.During the general's time at Fort Stevenson, the 1868 Peace Commission negotiated a treaty that gave the Black Hills to the Lakota and barred whites from entering the Powder River country. The abrogation of that treaty, due to George Armstrong Custer's discovery of gold in the Black Hills, was to bring the clash of civilizations to the point of explosion.This is a unique look at one of the most interesting points in American history.

Download or read book Regular Army O written by Douglas C. McChristian and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2017-05-04 with total page 633 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The drums they roll, upon my soul, for that’s the way we go,” runs the chorus in a Harrigan and Hart song from 1874. “Forty miles a day on beans and hay in the Regular Army O!” The last three words of that lyric aptly title Douglas C. McChristian’s remarkable work capturing the lot of soldiers posted to the West after the Civil War. At once panoramic and intimate, Regular Army O! uses the testimony of enlisted soldiers—drawn from more than 350 diaries, letters, and memoirs—to create a vivid picture of life in an evolving army on the western frontier. After the volunteer troops that had garrisoned western forts and camps during the Civil War were withdrawn in 1865, the regular army replaced them. In actions involving American Indians between 1866 and 1891, 875 of these soldiers were killed, mainly in minor skirmishes, while many more died of disease, accident, or effects of the natural environment. What induced these men to enlist for five years and to embrace the grim prospect of combat is one of the enduring questions this book explores. Going well beyond Don Rickey Jr.’s classic work Forty Miles a Day on Beans and Hay (1963), McChristian plumbs the regulars’ accounts for frank descriptions of their training to be soldiers; their daily routines, including what they ate, how they kept clean, and what they did for amusement; the reasons a disproportionate number occasionally deserted, while black soldiers did so only rarely; how the men prepared for field service; and how the majority who survived mustered out. In this richly drawn, uniquely authentic view, men black and white, veteran and tenderfoot, fill in the details of the frontier soldier’s experience, giving voice to history in the making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the twenty-first century approaches and the threat of war between the superpowers declines, our attention is drawn to conflicts between nations or ethnic groups with vastly different cultures. The United States, the last superpower, is divided in its motives to maintain its giant Cold War military structure or to create a new world police force that will react to and influence the outcome of intercultural conflict. Brought together by James C. Bradford, these essays by prominent military historians cover three thousand years and five continents in treating various examples of intercultural interaction.
