I have an avid interest in military history as it pertains to the years of the Indian Wars from the time of the Civil War up until about 1890 or so. I have many titles on the subject and have selected 5 for your reading pleasure. These will enlighten you on how the soldiers lived and fought in the great Southwest, particularly Arizona, and how their families struggled to stay with them. If you have an interest in this time and these people, you might like these books, they are all readily available online.
