the next twenty-four years Pope held important department commands on the western plains and was recognized as one of the army's leading authorities on Indian affairs, but he never again commanded troops in battle.In 1886, Pope was engaged by the National Tribune, aweekly newspaper published in Washington, D.C., to write a seriesof articles on his wartime experiences. Over the next five years, in twenty-nine installments, he wrote about the war as he had lived it. Collected here for the first time, Pope's "war reminiscences" join a select roster of memoirs written by Civil War army commanders.Pope presents a detailed review of the campaigns in which heparticipated and offers vivid character sketches of such illustrious figures as Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of War Edwin M.
