David Halberstam writes of Wells' compilation: "The letters of Colie and Ann Harwell are a marvelous reflection of a time and place now long past in America -- those days during World War II, when the outcome was still uncertain, but hope and idealism remained high, and ordinary people, both those who went and those who stayed home and loved those who went, behaved with a special grace. They quietly and honorably made their sacrifices, did their duty, and in the process reflected the ultimate strengths of an uncommon democracy".

Always in My Heart: The World War II Letters of Ann and Coleman Harwell
Great first hand account from the Army pov of the Apache and Sioux/Cheyenne wars. George Crook was a rare leader of honesty and character. Good material on early days in Tucson, AZ in there. The thing I picked up, after having a minor in Native American Studies and History of the American West, is that "scout" Indians turned on their own tribes and helped Crook and the Army. You won't find that fact in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which portrays Indians as being in total solidarity to white advance. But then one always gets a more accurate view reading first hand sources like this one over interpretations like Bury My Heart . . . The coverage of the second Apache campaign against Geronimo is a little weak, as Bourke covers the surrender and the politics and not much more than that. But what rings through is Crook's character and integrity.
