	1	Johnson, Virginia Weisel UNREGIMENTED GENERAL, THE Houghton Mifflin Company 1962 First Printing Hard Cover Good No Jacket Dark Blue Slightly Worn and Scuffed Binding. 401 Clean and Unmarked Pages. A Biography of Nelson A. Miles illustrated with Photographs and with Maps prepared by Brigadier General W. M. Johnson. A letter at the beginning of this book reads: Dear Mrs. Johnson: Two years ago an old army chest was resurrected in Washington. It had been closed and forgotten for over 50 years. When opened it was found to contain my father's letters to my mother from their engagement in 1867 to the middle of the 1890s. Many were written from the field during his several Indian campaigns. They throw a strong light on those western days, commenting on and sometimes criticizing the crude ways through which the Indian lost his hunting ground and the settler, with the aid of the army, gained his homestead. They are frank in expressing very personal opinions on the conduct of the campaigns and the personnel involved. They were never expected to see the light of the printed page, and so far they have not seen it. I am very glad to give these letters to you, for whatever use you care to make of them in the book on my father you are now writing. Sincerely Yours, Sherman Miles (Major General, the U.S. Army, Retired) (Written to Mrs. Johnson Feb. 1958. Obviously, this book is based on the contents of those letters. Price: 25.00 USD
