Publisher's Synopsis
Army Life in Dakota is a book that features selected entries from the journal of Philippe Regis Denis De Keredern De Trobriand, a French-born officer who served in the United States Army during the mid-19th century. The book provides a firsthand account of the experiences of De Trobriand and his fellow soldiers as they were stationed in the Dakota Territory, which was then a relatively unknown and undeveloped part of the country.The journal entries cover a wide range of topics, including the daily routines of the soldiers, the challenges they faced in dealing with the harsh climate and terrain of the region, and their interactions with the Native American tribes who inhabited the area. De Trobriand also provides insights into the military tactics and strategies employed by the Army during this time period, as well as his own personal reflections on the nature of war and the role of the soldier.Overall, Army Life in Dakota offers a fascinating glimpse into a little-known chapter of American history, as seen through the eyes of a highly observant and articulate soldier.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
