When the U.S. Army ordered troops into Arizona Territory in the
19th century to protect and defend the new settlements established
there, some of those military men brought their wives and families.
Many of these women worked as laundresses for the military and
maids to officers' families to supplement their husband's meager
salaries. They had little time for leisure, but their letters,
diaries, and journals from their years on the army posts reveal the
hardships and challenges faced by families on the frontier. These
women were bold, brave, and compassionate. They were an integral
part of military posts that peppered the West and played an
important role in civilizing the Arizona frontier. Combining the
words of these women with original research tracing their movements
from camp to camp over the years they spent in the West, From
Reveille to Taps explores the tragedies and triumphs they
experienced.
