Army Letters From An Officer's Wife: 1871-1888 - Paperback

by Frances M. a. Roe (Author)

"Army Letters from an Officer's Wife, 1871-1888" - illustrated - Perhaps it is not necessary to say that the events mentioned in the letters are not imaginary-perhaps the letters themselves tell that! They are truthful accounts of experiences that came into my own life with the Army in the far West, whether they be about Indians, desperadoes, or hunting-not one little thing has been stolen. They are of a life that has passed-as has passed the buffalo and the antelope-yes, and the log and adobe quarters for the Army. All flowery descriptions have been omitted, as it seemed that a simple, concise narration of events as they actually occurred, was more in keeping with the life, and that which came into it.
