Army Letters From An Officer's Wife 1871 to 1888 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162653549)

""Army Letters From An Officer's Wife 1871 to 1888"" is a collection of personal letters written by Frances M.A. Roe, the wife of an officer in the United States Army, during the years 1871 to 1888. The book is a compilation of Roe's correspondence to her family and friends, detailing her experiences living on various military posts in the American West during the late 19th century. The letters offer a unique perspective on life in the frontier army, including the challenges and hardships faced by military families, as well as the social and cultural norms of the time. Roe's writing is candid and engaging, providing readers with a glimpse into the daily life of an officer's wife during a pivotal period in American history. The book is a valuable resource for historians, students, and anyone interested in the history of the American West and the role of women in the military.Their coming was so sudden we did not have a chance to get out of their way, and it so happened that Mrs. Phillips and I were in their line of march, and when the one in the lead got to us, we were pushed aside with such impatient force that we both fell over on the counter. The others passed on just the same, however, and if we had fallen to the floor, I presume they would have stepped over us, and otherwise been oblivious to our existence. This was my introduction to an Indian--the noble red man!This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
