Durwood Ball, '82
Army Regulars on the Western Frontier, 1848-1861. Hardcover, 287 pages; University of Oklahoma Press, 2001; ISBN 0-8061-3312-0.
Durwood Ball is associate professor of history at the University of New Mexico and editor of the New Mexico Historical Review.
According to one reviewer, the book "provides fresh perspectives on the role of the U.S. Army in the West by presenting the army in the larger context of what was happening in the western territories. . . . Many have had the perception that the regulars were occupied solely with controlling Indians, but this work reveals that the story was considerably more complex."
