Emil Adolph Bode, a German immigrant down on his luck, enlisted in
the U.S. Army in 1877 and served for five years. More literate than
most of his fellow soldiers, Bode described western flora and
fauna, commenting on the American Indians he encountered as well as
the slaughter of the buffalo, the hard and lonely life of the
cowboy, and towns and settlements he passed through. His
observations, seasoned with wry wit and sympathy, offer a truer
picture of the frontier military experience than all the dashing
cavalry charges and thundering artillery in Western literature.
