Sommario/riassunto: | The U.S. Army's post at this strategic location astride communication lines linking San Antonio, El Paso, Presidio, and Chihuahua City was a place of nineteenth-century encounter, conquest, and community. Wooster presents not only a history of the fort, but provides a look into the daily lives of soldiers and civilians, a blend of Hispanic, African American, Anglo, and European immigrants who lived there. |
