Soldiers in the Southwest Borderlands, 1848-1886

Spotlighting ordinary men who usually appear on the margins of history, the biographical essays collected in this volume tell the stories of soldiers in the complex world of the Southwest after the US-Mexican War.

Majoritatea biografiilor militare se concentreaza pe ofiteri, dintre care multi au lasat jurnale sau au scris scrisori de-a lungul vietii si carierei lor. Aceasta colectie ofera perspective noi, concentrandu-se asupra vietii soldatilor inrolati dintr-o varietate de medii culturale si rasiale.
