Description:
Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A.: Univ Pr of Kansas, 1993. 481pp/illus. Following the formation of a regular army in 1784, a popular distrust of military power and the generally unsettled nature of national administration kept the army in a continual state of fluctuation, both in terms of organization and size. Few officers were making a long-term commitment to military service. But by 1860, a professional army career was becoming a way of life. In that year, 41.5 percent of officers had served 30 years, compared to only 2.6 percent in 1797. Clean . 1st Printing. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
