![]() MORE WORK THAN GLORY: Buffalo Soldiers in the United States Army, 1865-1916 Views the broader perspectives of race against the backdrop of the transition of the U.S. Army from a frontier constabulary to an international power. In the process, he highlights the staggering assortment of non-military missions including assignments to national parks and forests; road building; exploration; pioneer military bicycling; duty along the border between the United States and Mexico; employment as agents of law and order, and a litany of other contributions against formidable Native Americans and others. Frames the narrative within the context of continuity and change from Reconstruction in the 1860s through the early twentieth century. Above all, focuses on the soldiers themselves to provide a human perspective as well as challenges prevalent misconceptions that often overshadow more fascinating facts. Profusely illustrated with compelling images and detailed maps.1 vol, 330 pgs 2023 UK, HELION AND COMPANY NEW-pb, available mid November 2023 ......$50.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our AMERICAN WEST
