Uniforms, Arms, and Equipment. The U. S. Army on the Western Frontier - Book ReviewCol., ret. Jerry D. Morelock, PhD | August 24, 2007 | 0 comments | Print | E-mail Divided into 15 chapters and 5 appendices, McChristian’s book is an outstanding reference for collectors and museum curators, as well as being a fascinating account for anyone interested in the history of America’s frontier army. Our recommendation: Buy this new 2-volume set and McChristian’s earlier The U. S. Army in the West, 1870-1880. They represent the “must have” references on America’s frontier army and deserve a place in any military history enthusiast’s library. And while your at it, pick up a copy of McChristian’s outstanding book, Fort Bowie, Arizona: Combat Post of the Southwest, 1858-1894 (see our review in the September 2007 ACG Bookshelf). About the AuthorDouglas C.
