The post was temporary in nature, ever-moving, small in size and almost devoid of any major historical events. In light of the above it would be nice to start by stating when Camp Fillmore was established, exactly where it was located and why it was established in the first place." ----- From the Introduction. Also some interesting comments about chasing Indians and a small scandal regarding hay purchases and contracts. As new, unread copy without dust jacket, as issued.
