How the soldiers of the west cleared the way for civilization, how women and children as well bore their full share of frontier burdens may be seen reflected in these tales of “picturesque incident and thrilling experiences” which while they are usually fiction are based upon some incident or actual occurrence. While the volume aims only to be a side-light upon history, it is thoroly suggestive for students who wish to look into records of the regular soldiers.
