Robert Marshall Utley

Indiana University Press, 1977

Objective, Unsympathetic, and Brilliantly Delivered
Robert M. Utley offers the sequel to his _Frontiersmen in Blue: The United States Army and the Indian 1848-1865_. In this second installment, Utley attempts to eradicate the myth of the frontier Army as blazing a path of glory westward that has been portrayed in Hollywood movies. Rather, he argues the frontier regular Army was only one of several contributing factors to the subjugation of the ...

An excellent introduction to the Mongols

The American heritage history of the Indian wars

Barnes & Noble Books, 1992

The Complete Story of Every US Indian/Anglo Conflict
This is the book you want if you want a highly informative history of Indian Conflicts starting from Jamestown all the way to Wounded Knee. I virtually felt embarrassment reading about the early trends of the colonists to take advantage of Indians through the kidnapping and killing of chiefs to exploitation of their land and the constant pressure to move them west. From Bacon's (Bacon's ...

Alaska Wilderness: Exploring the Central Brooks Range

Robert Marshall

University of California Press, 2005

An essential description of the region
This is Marshall's account of exploring the area which is now Gates of the Arctic National Park. Marshall was the first to systematically explore and describe it, in the 1930s. Introductions by his brother George update the information to 1970. There are wonderful, hilarious anecdotes. I read this to help plan my first trip there (summer 2000); can't imagine going without it.

Robert Marshall Utley

Purchased from the Supt. of Docs., U.S. G.P.O, 1988

Interesting and worthwhile for the photos and diagrams
This is a publication of the US National Park Service sold to accompany a visit to the Custer Battlefield site. I found it a worthwhile read even though I haven't visited the battlefield. The author gives a broad historical outline of the events that lead up to what has become the only legendary battle in United States Military history. This is important because, while everybody and his ...

The Mountains of My Life (Modern Library Exploration)

8 reviews
Walter Bonatti

Modern Library, 2001

A classic of mountaineering by one of the greats!
Along with Ricardo Cassin, Bonatti is perhaps the most outstanding Italian climber of all time! How ironic that he should become embroiled in one of the longest lasting (almost 50 years) controversies in mountaineering history, and how gratifying that he finally is clearly vindicated in this fascinating book. The book is an autobiographical account of Bonatti's major climbs, including several ...

Frontiersmen in Blue: The United States Army and the Indian, 1848-1865,

2 reviews
Robert Marshall, Utley

Macmillan Publishing Company, 1967

Amazing Undertaking
In this book Robert Utley describes in significant detail the operations of the United States and Volunteer Armies in the American West. Until this book I never quite grasped the magnitude of the problem involved, the competing vested interests, the vast distances covered and the logistical nightmares the Army faced. Detailing the regional conflicts sequentially, Utley delivers a complete ...

Kerry James Marshall: One True Thing: Meditations On Black Aesthetics
Jeff Donaldson, Nathaniel McLin, ...

Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, 2003

In Kerry James Marshall's Rythm Mastr comic strip, an urban superhero battles the forces of evil using a combination of futuristic and traditional African accoutrements. This graphic narrativization is a stylistic update of Marshall's best-known work, monumental paintings of African-American subjects based on the traditional genre of narrative history painting. In One True Thing, the catalogue accompaniment to Marshall's first solo show in five ...
