About this ebook
The Plains Indian War was one of the most controversial conflicts in American military history, as the US Army faced a tough opponent that challenged it for decades following the end of the Civil War. The Army leadership endured a severe lack of resources, political constraints, an indifferent public, tough environmental conditions, and other problems of the frontier. Army officers and men had to adapt to these constraints, and this period also proved to be a trial of the ability and endurance of the common soldier. This title details the organization, development, training, tactics and command structures of the US Army during its subjugation of the Plains Indian tribes.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5To me, the most valuble portion of the book is the numerous schematics showing what units and commanders are assigned at what posts for the period of the Plains Indians wars. Trust me, this is damn hard information to come by; we keep several copies of this booklet floating around that National Archives. As for providing a general overview of the U.S. Army in the time in question, I supposed that the author does an adequate job; it might just be my problem that I'm jaded on the period.
