From soldier to wagon master to scalp hunter
Chamberlain left Boston as a mere youth and joined the United
States Army. He became a soldier in the 1st US Dragoons and
determined to become the very ideal of the daring cavalryman both
on and off the battlefields of the American-Mexican War. His is a
tale-not a little tall-that includes accounts of passionate love
affairs, duels to the death, pitched battles and exploits of daring
in which Chamberlain himself features as the central heroic figure.
Certainly he was a larger than life character, as his accounts of
constant troubles with his superiors for brawling, drunkenness and
insubordination appear with a detail and frequency which suggest
authenticity. At the end of the war Chamberlain became a wagon
master-possibly after deserting the army-and then threw himself
into a series of adventures with a notorious band of scalp hunters
led by the infamous John Glanton. A highly entertaining and
informative account of the United States cavalry at war, in which
many of the principal characters of the American Civil War-who
appear within it's pages-learned their craft.
