Regina (virgosun) reviewed For This We Are Soldiers: Tales of the Frontier Army on + 886 more book reviews
Not quite what I expected, but still a wonderful collection of short stories about army life on the frontier and how romance fit into the lives of soldiers. It got me thinking of how it might have been for my ancestor who also was a commander in the Arizona/New Mexico territories in the early 1860s. The romantic tales were sweet and some were funny, but the surprising draw is in the true-to-life representation of fort life. 4 stars.
