Thirty Years of Army Life on the Border

In this vivid and engaging memoir, Randolph Barnes Marcy documents his experiences as a U.S. Army officer charged with maintaining order on the western frontier during the mid-19th century. Marcy's accounts of encounters with Native American tribes, life on military posts, and the challenges of administering justice on the frontier shed light on a little-known chapter of American history.
