The role of the Frontier scout in the US Army during the period of
expansion to the West, was often far more important than that of
the commanding officer himself. They possessed a priceless
knowledge of the geography, people and characteristics of the
great, unknown American hinterland and from the earliest days of
exploration, the US Army depended on its scouts to guide them
across the plains and through the mountains as they guarded the
nation's frontier settlements. This book looks at these scouts,
covering their organization, uniform, and weapons and includes
details of many famous scouts such as 'Wild Bill' Hikock and
'Buffalo Bill' Cody.
