Book Description
Frontier Classics resurrect long out-of-print gems of frontier history. Antiquarian and rare book dealers have previously been the only source for these books, providing first editions for premium prices. Now, these books are available in affordable, quality paperback editions, with new historical introductions written by leading experts in the field.
Anson Mills saw frontier service in Arizona and Kansas, where he bravely fought against the Apache and the Cheyenne, respectively. As a battalion commander with the army, he played an important role in Reynolds's Powder River campaign of early 1876, and in the Great Sioux War later that year. His good fortune continued after his service, when he became a millionaire after inventing and improving military items.
