    Robert Utley does it again
  

*by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2012*

Admittedly this is a work for a somewhat limited audience. However, if you have an interest in the topic, you would be hard pressed to find a better book on the subject.I first encountered Mr. Utley as one of the commentators on a series about the West on the History Channel. I found his narrative style much to my liking so I read his "Frontier Regulars" which covers the post Civil War period on the frontier. Reading that, I found that it was actually part 2 of a two book history with "Frontiersmen in Blue" being volume one. I highly recommend both volumes, and while I wish I had read "Frontiersmen in Blue" first, it's not really necessary.Mr. Utley does a wonderful job of personalizing the protagonists (on both sides) and his work seems to benefit form a wealth of research which he distills into a very readable account. He's also very even-handed in his praise and criticisms, although the works still seem to cant slightly to the Army/Government perspective. I feel that this speaks more to the relative scarcity of source material from Indian sources than to any bias on Mr. Utley's part.Overall, just a great, readable account of the struggles played out on the frontier between the end of the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War.

    History for all.
  

*by D***H on Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2018*

Well, anyone willing to do some reading.  No long excruciating detail.  The Bruce Catton of today.  Easily understood and to follow and be aware of what really happened, not the movie version.  I never saw a howitzer in the movies!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
