Crossing the Deadly Ground: United States Army Tactics, 1865-1899
"No other study approaches this subject so expertly."--Journal of Southern History"Jamieson fills a gap in the tactical history of the U.S. Army from the end of the Civil War through the Spanish-American War. He unfolds how an army spread out on frontier posts, [and] largely preoccupied with warfare against the native peoples, Reconstruction, and daily routine, nevertheless made progress toward a system of tactics to take it into the twentieth century."--Civil War History
