The US Army's fierce clashes with the Native Americans and the turbulent era of frontier history is brought vividly to life in this authentic first hand account. Anson Mills saw frontier service in Arizona and Kansas, where he fought against the Apache and the Cheyenne. As a battalion commander with the army, he played an important role in Reynolds's Powder River campaign of early 1876, and in the Great Sioux War later that year. His good fortune continued after his service, when he became a millionaire after inventing and improving military items.
