Michèle Tucker Butts. Galvanized Yankees on the Upper Missouri: The Face of Loyalty. Boulder: University Press of Colorado. 2003. Pp. xiv, 292. $29.95.

This book by Michèle Tucker Butts tracks the story of a Civil War-era regiment that saw duty not on eastern battlefields but on the northern Plains. The First United States Volunteers drew its ranks from Confederate deserters and prisoners of war who in 1864 accepted an invitation to enlist in the Union army. Organized at Maryland's Camp Hoffman, the recruits found themselves occupying Fort Rice, on Dakota Territory's Upper Missouri River. The U.S. army desperately needed forces in the West, and officials feared that these soldiers, if taken captive in fights with Confederates, would face certain death. So the "galvanized yankees" steamed into Sioux country and spent one year fortifying the growing federal presence there. Their primary duties involved attempting to keep peace with Indian neighbors and to maintain open transportation and communication lines to points west.
