Uniforms, Arms, and Equipment. The U. S. Army on the Western Frontier, 1880–1892. Volume 2: Weapons and Accoutrements. By Douglas C. McChristian. Foreword by Jerome A. Greene.

Former National Park Service historian Doug McChristian has spent a lifetime studying and analyzing the uniforms and equipment of the American frontier soldier. This two-volume set is the sequel to his excellent 1995 study, The U. S. Army in the West, 1870–1880: Uniforms, Weapons, and Equipment (Norman, OK). McChristian uses his access to fine military collections in both public and private repositories to document what was issued to and used by U. S. soldiers from the height of the Apache campaigns into the twilight years of the Indian Wars.
