This dissertation seeks to fill that void. Chapters include: great expectations, limited resources- the frontier army as a constabulary force, 1854-1856; political means and ends- expansion and slavery collide in Kansas, 1854-1856; the army, Indians, and peace enforcement operations of the Plains- the Sioux expedition of 1855; conflicting interests- peace, land, and speculation in territorial Kansas, 1854-1856; from the \"Wakarusa War\" to the dispersal of the Topeka legislature- peacekeeping and command, control, communications and information (C3I) during \"Bleeding Kansas\"; and applying the tourniquet of peace- John Geary, the army, and the election of 1856.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tony R.
