Review
"Soldiers West is a collection of fourteen minibiographies of prominent military figures who made significant contributions on the military frontier . . . all are written by scholars intimately familiar with their subjects and the results are both informative and entertaining."Paul Hutton's excellent preface and Robert Utley's masterful introduction set the stage for the objective, colorful, and well-written biographies that follow. Soldiers West will be welcomed by students of the American frontier and by the general reader as well."—Western Historical Quarterly (Western Historical Quarterly )
"This anthology of military figures who oversaw the conquest of the Trans-Mississippi West will find a wide audience among readers grown accustomed to fine scholarship, and lively writing."The well-crafted biographies illuminate the multifaceted mission of the frontier army and the diverse careers of its offi-cers."—Montana: The Magazine of Western History (Montana: The Magazine of Western History )
"The 14 biographies illuminate the 19th century military presence in the West. Even better, all 14 are equally readable. Considering the diversity of scholars and subjects, this volume is especially well done."—Rocky Mountain News (Rocky Mountain News )
"Essays from some of the West's most noted historians profile such military leaders as Generals Custer, Crook, and Sheridan, William Clark and John G. Bourke, and half a dozen others. . . . From the cocksure, arrogant destiny of Custer to the intellectual pursuits of Bourke, Soldiers West explores the basic character of the American military man in revealing capsule studies."—San Francisco Chronicle (San Francisco Chronicle )
