Until 1917 no papers delivered before the annual meeting of the Order of Indian Wars had been published; indeed, no meeting had been published until 1911. All of the Proceedings from 1911 through 1916 contained nothing more than the minutes of the previous meetings, discussion on the contents of their Constitution and By-Laws and the membership list as of that particular meeting. Sometimes the dinner guests were mentioned, the subjects of whatever talks to be heard were announced, frequently the menu, often the financial status and that was about all. John M. Carroll was one of America's leading military historians, specializing in western military history. Perhaps is most important book will in all probability be The Papers of the Order of Indian Wars. His work in compiling and editing this collections is an outstanding service to western historians everywhere. The Order of the Indian Wars of the United States (OIWUS) is a military society founded in 1896 by officers of the United States Army who served in campaigns against Native Americans from the American Revolution to the late 19th Century. The OIWUS was founded by Colonel B.J.D. Irwin at Fort Sheridan near Chicago. It was patterned after other American military societies such as the Society of the Cincinnati, the Aztec Club of 1847 and the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States. Its primary purpose is to provide fellowship to is members and preserve the history of the Indian Wars. The correct name of the OIWUS is the "Order of Indian Wars," not "Order of THE Indian Wars." According to its constitution the objects of the OIWUS are to . perpetuate the memories of the services rendered by the military forces of the United States in their conflicts and wars against hostile Indians within the territory or jurisdiction of the United States, and to collect and secure for publication historical data relating to the instances of heroic service and personal devotion by which Indian warfare has been illustrated. Membership originally consisted of veteran officers (termed Original Companions) and their male descendants (termed Hereditary Companions). Over the first fifty years of the Order's existence its membership included 300 Original Companions, 275 Hereditary Companions and 75 Junior Companions. In time, the Original Companions died out and the only members were heredit. Lorence Bjoklund (illustrateur). …
