Seller's Description:
Good. 23 cm. xii, 160 pages. Wraps. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Note on Sources. Index. Covers has some wear and soiling. Frank N. "Mickey" Schubert (born June 3, 1943) is an American author and military historian. He was the chief of joint operational history in the Joint History Office, Office of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff until his retirement in 2003. He is a graduate of Howard University, the University of Wyoming, and the University of Toledo (Ph.D., 1977). He is a veteran of the Vietnam War and worked as a historian in the Department of Defense for the US Army Corps of Engineers (1977-1989), the US Army Center of Military History (1989-1993), and the Joint History Office of the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1993-2003). He has lectured at universities and research centers in seven European countries. His published work has focused on North American frontier exploration, black soldiers in the US Army, and military construction. Americans have always shown a special interest and pride in the heritage of the frontier. The popular culture abounds in celebrations of cowboys and cavalrymen, pioneers and prospectors. Behind these heroes were others, Army Engineers who surveyed roads, laid out forts that protected them, and made the maps that guided travelers over them. Generally unsung and little known outside a small group of scholars and buffs, these officers provided indispensable services to a growing nation. In Vanguard of Expansion, Dr. Schubert has told the story of the many contributions of the Engineers in the cause of westward expansion. His concise narrative should be of interest to all who are fascinated by the epic tale of America's march to the Pacific.
