American Indians in the U.S.Armed Forces, 1866-1945 (G.I.: The Illustrated History of the American Soldier, His Uniform & His Equipment) Book
101 b/w and 18 color illustrations 7 x 10 Native American soldiers have played a distinguished role in the service of the United States Army, characterized by loyalty, bravery and ferocious valor. Fighting on both sides during the Civil War, Indians were only officially incorporated into the United States Army by a decree of Congress in 1866. Throughout the nineteenth century a large number served as scouts and played a significant role in the Plains and Apache Wars. American Indians also fought for their country in the twentieth century; some 12,000 enlisted in World War I and 40,000 took part in World War II and the struggle against the Axis. More than one hundred rare photographs have been assembled, charting the service of Native Americans from the early days as scouts to service in World War II, Italy and the Pacific. John P. Langellier is a fellow of the Company of Military Historians and has numerous books and articles to his credit, including eight titles in the G. I. Series.Read More
