A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

West, the figure of the soldier may he emphasized, I think, as representing not simply fortitude and heroism, since these have been the commonplaces of his life, nor glory, since this has been practically denied him by his fellow-citizens; but as the man embodying better than any other pioneer type the conserving influence of law and order and the actual progress earned in the early days by the forces which make for civiliza tion. The popular tradition of the soldier as a conqueror of glory-crowned heights has nothing in common with the unrecognised career of the American regular soldier in theW est. Coronado and otherS pan ish warriors who marched northward seeking gold and sovereignty might well be termed conquistadores, with all the glory wrhich attaches to the phrase. The career of the American regular soldier may almost be summarized as that of the settlers advance guard.
