Review # 1 was written on 2020-07-11 00:00:00 Bob Evans An excellent review of the mobilization of the US Army. My focus was on the Punitive Expedition and World War I so there was little before and after that, that I actually used. However, this is an invaluable resource with information in one volume that a researcher or historian or student would spend hours and hours and hours having to search for. Start with this book, and you will be well on your way to understanding the numbers of soldiers, equipment, etc. involved in the various mobilizations as well as how the Army was organized during these periods.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-08-14 00:00:00 Antonio Tennari It was one of the longest books I've read, but I was still sad when it ended. Richardson set out to create an interesting idealized hero and I thought he did a pretty good job - it helps that he's seen through the eyes of a sympathetic heroine and there's lots and lots of complicated angsty barriers to the main romance. It's an epistolary novel (all letters) and I enjoyed the variety of the voices and the episodic slant to the plot. Kind of like TV, 1700s style. :)
