The last thirty-five years of the nineteenth century were a time of
dramatic change for the U.S. military, including the Reconstruction
of the South after the Civil War; fighting the Indian Wars of 1865
through 1890; and shifting military personnel concerns and
increased responsibilities, including law enforcement, protection
of the National Parks, and border patrols. As the century's end
neared, the army faced increasing retrenchment and increased
advocacy for veteran's causes when the Civil War veteran population
aged. This book illustrates the lives of the average soldier and
his family, his involvement with the community, and his
contributions and needs as a veteran. The late nineteenth century
in American military history is not as well known as others.
Highlights of the topics covered by Michael L. Tate in this volume
include Reconstruction duty in the south Staffing the new military
departments in the Trans-Mississippi West Relations between
American Indians and soldiers, including Indian scouts, and Indian
rights Promoting Western overland transportation, river
improvements and communication Army Relief Work and Protecting the
Fledgling National Parks Social Experiments: Serving with White,
Black and Indian Soldiers Social Relations with Communities Near
the Posts Veterans' Needs and Pensions for military families
Relying on documents, diaries, newspaper accounts, and family
histories, Tate also includes a timeline, a topically arranged
bibliography, and a comprehensive index.
