Vanished Arizona by Martha Summerhayes
When Martha Summerhayes (1844-1926) came as a bride to Fort Russell in Wyoming Territory in 1874, she saw not much in those first few days besides bright buttons, blue uniforms, and shining swords. This is a memoir of her years as a military wife as her husband's Eighth Regiment conducted Gen George Crook's expedition against the Apaches.“Written by the wife of an Army officer stationed in Arizona from 1874 to 1878, Vanished Arizona provides a clear picture of life on the frontier and the hardships faced by both the men and the women”—True West
"Vanished Arizona is a classic and highly recommended to all those readers—even those keeping drug stores—who want to learn more about the distaff side of Army life during the late nineteenth century."—Roger D. Cunningham, Journal of America's Military Past
