Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Format is approximately 5.25 inches by 8 inches. xii, 382 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Bibliography. Index. Don Gladstone Rickey, Jr., received a Ph.D. in History from the University of Oklahoma in 1960. During Rickey's career as a historian, he expressed interest in military history, especially in the American West. In his position as Historian of the Phillips Collection at the University of Oklahoma from 1953 to 1955, he specialized in materials in Native American and western History. From 1955 to 1960, Rickey served as Historian for the Custer Battlefield National Monument in Montana. From 1960 to 1963, Rickey was Chief Research Historian at the Museum of Westward Expansion. In 1968, Rickey became Assistant Director of the U.S. Army Military History Research Collection at the Army War College. Dr. Rickey wrote several books on military history including War in the West: The Indian Campaigns & Forty Miles a Day on Beans and Hay: The Enlisted Soldier Fighting the Indian Wars. As member of the regular army, the enlisted men formed an important segment of our usually slighted national military and, through their labors, combats, and endurance, created the framework of law and order within which settlement and development become possible. The civilians arrayed their army between themselves and the Indians and went about the business of mushrooming the nation's economy. Because few enlisted men were literarily inclined, most previous writings about them have been what officers and others had to say. To find out what the average soldier of the post-Civil War frontier thought, Don Rickey, Jr., asked over three hundred living veterans to supply information about their army experiences by answering questionnaires and writing personal accounts. Many of them who had survived to the mid-1950 s contributed much more through additional correspondence and personal interviews. This is the first documented account of the mass personality of the rank and file during the Indian Wars.
