Summary
"The men who served at Fort Lewis for little pay and poor food represented a cross-section of nineteenth-century America. With Duane Smith's history, their contribution to the settlement of the West is recognized at last. Readers interested in Western and military history and in Colorado will enjoy this long-untold story."--BOOK JACKET.
