Davis, Robert E.C.LIEUTENANTS AND LIGHT: Mapping the US Army Heliograph Networks in Late Nineteenth-Century Arizona and New Mexico Provides a detailed historical study of the U.S. Army's use of the heliograph as a tactical means of communication and command and control in the desert environment of Arizona and New Mexico in the late nineteenth century. The heliograph network in the Southwest, which began development in 1882, used mirror-based signaling devices to facilitate communication across remote outposts, forts, and detachments. Heliographs enabled soldiers to send messages over long distances using Morse code transmitted through sunlight reflections. Details how many of the officers who helmed these stations went on to distinguished careers in the military, business, or public service. Some had served in the Civil War, and most were veterans of the Indian Wars. Almost a third of these young officers would go on to become general officers, several serving in leadership roles during World War I. 1 vol, 240 pgs 2026 US, STACKPOLE BOOKS NEW-pb, available mid January 2026 ......$35.00 discount: :10% rct ..see our 19TH CENTURY
