Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This historical record traces the birth and continuing evolution of the US Army Corps of Engineers from 1775 through 1876. The author begins with how the urgent need for military engineers ignited the formation of this Corps and how the roles and duties of its officers and enlisted me…n expanded over time. As the US faced conflicts in the early part of the 19th century, the Corps' mandate branched out to design and build coastal fortifications, and West Point's Military Academy became the training ground for their officer corps. The author follows the Corps' transition from its initial state of near total reliance on foreign-born engineers to the development of homegrown expertise. The volume concludes with Congress granting the Corps broad oversight of military engineering and river/canal system improvements, reflecting not only the critical contributions of these engineers to national defense at the time but also to the nation's economic expansion.
