"A model of analytical history. In . . . spare, cogent prose, Wooster delineates military strategy against the western tribes, places the political influence of the Gilded Age military establishment in solid perspective, gives an able survey of the institutional structure of the postwar army, briefly describes key Indian campaigns, and presents pithy characterizations of leading western military personalities. . . . Wooster's book places events in a national, and in military terms international, context. In so doing he has made a major contribution to frontier and military scholarship."Paul Andrew Hutton,American Historical Review.Wooster, Robert is the author of 'Military and United States Indian Policy 1865-1903' with ISBN 9780803297678 and ISBN 080329767X.
