U.S. Army officer and historian Thomas "Ty" Smith presents a comprehensive and authoritative single-source reference for the activities of the regular army in the Lone Star State during the nineteenth century. Beginning with a series of maps that sketch the evolution of fort locations on the frontier, Smith furnishes an overview with his introductory essay. The second part of this guide lists the departmental commanders, the location of the military headquarters, and the changes in the administrative organization and military titles for Texas. Part III provides a dictionary of 223 posts, forts, and camps in the state. The fourth part gives a year by year snapshot of total army strength in the state, the regiments assigned, and the garrisons and commanders of each major fort and camp. Supplying the only such synopsis of its kind, the guide's Part V offers a chronological description of 224 U.S. Army combat actions in the Indian Wars with vivid details of each engagement. The 900 entries in the selected bibliography of Part VI are divided topically into sections on biographical sources and regimental histories, histories of forts, garrison life, civil-military relations, the Mexican War, and frontier operations. The Old Army in Texas is an indispensable reference and research tool for students, scholars, and military history aficionados. It will be of great value to those interested in Texas history, especially military history and local and regional studies. This superb reference work is illustrated with a number of maps and rare photographs of the U.S. Army in nineteenth century Texas"--$cProvided by publisher. 607 $aTexas$2fast 607 $aTexas$xHistory, Military$y19th century$vBibliography 607 $aTexas$xHistory, Military$y19th century 608 $aBibliographies. 608 $aMilitary history. 608 $aHistory. 608 $aBibliographies. 676 $a355.0097644/09034 700 $aSmith$b Thomas T.$f1950-$01674797 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810108303321 996 $aThe Old Army in Texas$94056608 997 $aUNINA
