To Live and Die in the West - The Frontier Wars 1860-1890
Has anyone here read this book or have it for reference. I don't exactly remember how I came across this one, but I think it was on a bargin table at Books-A-Million.
It is authored by Jason Hook and Matin Pegler. I appreciate it more now than when I first purcahsed it. It is a valuable resource for both Soldier and Indian. Loaded with vintage photographs and accurate artist drawings of clothing, equipment, weapons, etc.
One of the best I have seen to cover so much in only 160 pages. First published in 1999. It is unbelievable and very well organized. Even covers small details about enlistments, etc.
