Forts and Forays: James A. Bennett: A Dragoon in New Mexico, 1850-1856 is a historical memoir written by James Augustus Bennett. The book chronicles Bennett's experiences as a dragoon in the United States Army stationed in the New Mexico Territory during the mid-19th century. The memoir provides a unique perspective on the conflicts between the United States Army and Native American tribes, including the Apache and Navajo. Bennett's firsthand accounts detail the daily life of a soldier in the New Mexico Territory, including the challenges of living in a harsh desert environment, the dangers of frontier warfare, and the complex relationships between soldiers and civilians. The book also explores the political and social climate of the time, including the tensions between the United States and Mexico, the impact of the California Gold Rush, and the growing divide between North and South in the lead-up to the Civil War. Forts and Forays is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the American West, the United States Army, and the complex relationships between military forces and indigenous populations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
