| ADAMS, GEORGE ROLLIE. General William S. Harney: Prince Of Dragoons, University of Nebraska Press, Lincoln: 2005. Softcover. Brand new book. Between the War of 1812 and the Civil War, General William S. Harney became one of the best-known military figures in America. In a career aided by Andrew Jackson and the concept of an expansible army, Harney saw duty in virtually every part of the country and participated in most of the key military episodes of his time. He chased remnants of Lafitte pirates in Louisiana, campaigned with Abraham Lincoln and Zachary Taylor during the Black Hawk War, developed Vietnam-style riverine tactics that ended the Second Seminole War, and led Winfield Scott's cavalry in the Mexican War. In the 1850s Harney devised the army's largest and most successful pre-Civil War campaign against Plains Indians, commanded troops charged with upholding federal authority in Kansas and Utah, and almost provoked hostilities with Great Britain in the Pacific Northwest. Removed from command amid false charges of disloyalty during the Missouri secession crisis, he returned as a leading member of the Indian Peace Commission of 1867-68. Harney was bold, ambitious, and innovative, but also impulsive, vindictive, and violent. His career illustrates the nineteenth-century army's role in implementing federal policy, highlights its limited resources compared to its responsibilities, and illuminates key aspects of its organizational structure, the behavior of its officers, and its impact on personal lives. George Rollie Adams is president and CEO of Strong Museum in Rochester, New York. Adams proves that William S. Harney is a subject worthy of a definitive biography. His book is well researched and well written.ÑRandy Kane, Great Plains Quarterly Anyone interested in military history, especially on the frontier, will enjoy and profit from reading this well-written biography.ÑMilitary History of the West Adams's biography, which will not soon be surpassed, does a wonderful job of rescuing an important historical figure from relative obscurity.ÑCivil War Book Review A long, detailed biography that reads like a novel. The author has done a commendable job of weaving together information contained in thousands of documents to produce a fascinating story of a general that was half hero and more than half rascal.ÑDenver Westerners A welcome addition to the study of American and western military history.ÑAnnals of Wyoming Not only has [Adams] successfully presented the complexity of William Selby Harney's personality and leadership style, he has done so in prose that is uncluttered and direct. The book's fourteen chapters are models of clarity.ÑNew Mexico Historical Review A critical appraisal of one of the best-known army officers in America set in the context of a discerning overview of nineteenth-century American military history. It is engaging, informative, and well documented with primary sources. In this commendable work, Adams provides a finely drawn portrait of General Harney and his world.ÑMontana, The Magazine of Western History In Adams's capable hands, Harney becomes a flawed hero, with many faults and as many virtues. An excellent bookÑexpertly documented and nicely written.ÑChoice George Rollie Adams renders a vivid portrayal of William S. Harney, a long-serving nineteenth-century U.S. Army officer. . . . Well-chosen photographs and excellent maps enhance this worthwhile biography.ÑJournal of American History 2001 Distinguished Book Award, sponsored by the Army Historical Foundation, finalist ¶ 399 pages.
