Galvanized Yankees on the Upper Missouri: The Face of Loyalty. By Michelle Tucker Butts. (Boulder: University Press of Colorado, 2003. xiv + 292 pp. Illustrations, maps, tables, appendixes, notes, bibliography, index. $29.95.)
The First United States Volunteers had a huge charge before them. Their job: "... defend the British-U. S. border against Sioux raids and illegal trading incursions; protect and land assistance to river and overland travelers; establish an outpost of Euro-American civilization on the Upper Missouri; supply intelligence and reconnaissance for projected campaigns on the northern Plains; prevent illegal Indian trade; and foster peaceful co-existence with the Sioux" (p. 8). Butts explains and organizes each of these assigned tasks under the monikers "nation building" and "multiculturalism."	1
As the number of Union casualties increased, President Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton consented in late 1863 to the voluntary enlistment of Confederate soldiers into the United States military.

The First United States Volunteer Infantry Regiment served the longest and is the best documented.	. . .
