Most of this memoir deals with Cruse's years in the Southwest. A professional soldier, he makes no bones about his duties as an Indian fighter; political and social issues are not his concern. He gives a good picture of life at Fort Apache (and other camps), on the trail during campaigns, and encounters with "the enemy," which included Victorio and Geronimo. He also gives first-hand accounts of Generals Crook and Miles, and was particularly impressed with the leadership abilities of General Eugene Carr, especially at Cibecue. Cruse is a clear, objective writer, and the book is informative and interesting. A major disappointment is the lack of an index. Otherwise this is a good account of an army officer's reminiscences of the Indian campaigns in the Southwest during the 1880s.… (meer)
