Summary: The paperback is only Volume #2
Comment: I ordered this book thinking it was 1 book, but when it came it apparently is in 2 volumes and Amazon only sent Volume 2, even on the replacement order. So be aware of that until they get things fixed. Miles though in Volume 2 does write mostly a description of American cities, industry and people. Except for a few chapters on the Apache trouble it is more like a census. I hope someday to read Volume 1 and am disappointed things did not work out.

Summary: Miles' books detail the Indian Wars with historical accounts
Comment: General Nelson A. Miles wrote a detailed, history- filled accounts of the Red River Wars and other Indian battles. Illustrations by F. Remington were a big surprise to me, as it was of a direct relative, William F. Schmalsle, Indian Scout, Guide, and Courier. The rescue of the German Sisters is a heartfelt experience. The reader will feel like one is living in the Old West, with all the joys, adventures, and tribulations that the characters experienced. The references in the back offer one further insight into the past. As Miles was involved in other battles besides those with the Indians, the history buff will find a lot of references in the back of the book which will result in many hours of pleasurable research and reading. The General Miles history trail may lead you to a long lost relative, as I found out, with numerous sources of information. So try reading the General Miles books from your library and if you like, order them from Amazon and take them home, or take them camping in the woods and plains, visit the historical places mentioned.
