Summary
"This study is an attempt to analyze not only the history and background of this soldier and his equipment, but also to probe the features of his unique form of fortification, the presidio. And, because the material aspects of soldiering for this Spanish frontiersman did not exist in a vacuum, this study also attempts to portray the social conditions under which he lived."--From jacket flap.
