Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. First edition. First printing [stated]. xvi, 241, [7] p. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Sources Cited. Index. Fort Riley and Its Neighbors is a story of soldiers trying to save money and civilians trying to make it. Fort Riley stands today overlooking the Kansas River because army quartermasters in the 1850s thought that small steamboats could deliver supplies cheaply there. Civilians came to help build the fort and stayed to bid on the quartermaster's contracts for feed and fuel. Army posts were often a magnet for settlers. Contracts for supplies and transportation brought hard-to-find cash to small western towns, replacing systems of barter and credit and integrating them into the national economy. Townspeople kept a covetous eye on Fort Riley's land and its resources, and they voted bond issues to build short-line railroads in order to get competitive freight rates from transcontinental carriers. These short lines put Fort Riley at the center of the nation's transportation system, assuring the fort's survival for the next century. The history of Fort Riley and its neighbors typifies the relations that evolved between the American people and their government throughout the American West. The settlers' approach to federal authority, at once supplicating and conniving, has persisted and thrived and become the national attitude. From an on-line posting: "The Organization of American Historians has awarded its 2012 Richard W. Leopold prize to Dr. William A. Dobak for his book Freedom by the Sword: The U.S. Colored Troops, 1862-1867 (2011), a volume in the Center s official U.S. Army Historical Series. The Leopold prize is given every two years for the best book on foreign policy, military affairs, or the historical activities of the federal government by a government historian. Dr. Dobak, whose degree is from the University of Kansas, is also the author of Fort Riley and Its Neighbors: Military Money and Economic Growth, 1853-1895 (University of Oklahoma Press, 1998). He retired from Histories Division and federal service in 2010.".…
