Russell, 1849-1912","description":"\u003cp\u003eDuring the nineteenth century, the U.S. military built numerous forts across the country as it stationed more and more troops west of the Mississippi. When most people think about military forts in the American West, they imagine imposing strongholds, meccas of defense enclosed by high, palisaded walls. This popular view, however, is far from reality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eArmy Architecture in the West\u003c\/em\u003e, Alison K. Hoagland dispels the myth that all western forts were uniform structures of military might churned out according to a master set of plans authorized by army officials in Washington, D.C. Instead, by examining three exemplary Wyoming forts, Hoagland reveals that widely varying architectural designs were used to construct western forts.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWith more than 120 illustrations, \u003cem\u003eArmy Architecture in the West\u003c\/em\u003e offers a new way of using architecture to gain insight into the role of the army in the American West. By focusing on the tangible remains of the army's presence in the West, Hoagland presents a new vision of American military history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison K.
