Book Review

The U. S. Army in the West, 1870–80: Uniforms, Weapons and Equipment. By Douglas C. McChristian. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2006. xix + 315 pp. Illustrations, appendices, notes, bibliography, index. $24.95, paper.)

In 1995, the University of Oklahoma Press (OUP) published the hardcover edition of what is now recognized as an important work on the U. S. Army in the post-Civil War era. The U. S. Army in the West, 1870–80, by Douglas C. McChristian is an exhaustively researched study of how the Frontier Army was clothed, armed, and equipped. Now, eleven years later, the same press has issued a paper version with an added foreword by historian John P. Langelier, who places this book in context of the related historiography.
