Reviews
"Bode's literary skills matched an inquisitive eye and wry wit and helped make his soldier narrative utterly endearing. . . . With unbridled curiosity, Bode makes sumptuous reading of even the most ordinary experiences."-Montana
"Bode was extraordinary in intelligence, literacy, intellectual curiosity, and skill at writing and mapmaking. Accounts by privates and corporals in the post-Civil War infantry are rare; this is one of the best."-True West
"Bode's observations offer a truer picture of the frontier military experience than some other books that try to glamorize such activities."-Ross McSwain, Standard Times
