“Five Years A Dragoon: ‘49 to ‘54 and other Adventures on the Great Plains” by G. Percival describes, in a lucid clear style, the American military experience for an ordinary soldier during the period from 1849 onward. It is a fascinating read of a lesser-known era of American history, darkened by the events of the Civil War. The author, who had joined the pre-Civil War US Army as a dragoon, represents an evocative look at the personalities, the forts and geographical features of the era.
