4.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting read for students of early Kansas history.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fort Riley and Its Neighbors (Hardcover)
Dr. Dobak has addressed an area of western history that is normally overlooked by the casual student, i.e., the synergistic relationship between a frontier military post (in this case, Fort Riley, Kansas) and the nearby communities (Junction City and Manhatten). The book covers the timeframe from when Fort Riley was founded (1853) until it was firmly established as a permanent army base (1895). This well-researched book draws heavily upon records from the National Archives and contemporary newspaper accounts. The statistics are a little overbearing at times and there is a tendency to be repetitious, but otherwise, this is a very informative book.
