Campaigning With Crook and Stories of Army Life

Campaigning with Crook and Stories of Army Life is considered one of the best first-person accounts of the western Indian Wars. It depicts Charles King's service in the Sioux Campaign of 1876 as part of the U. S. 5th Cavalry. The book evolved from a series of newspaper articles he wrote for the Milwaukee Sentinel in 1879 and has proven to be a popular and enduring work.
