First published in 1962, this is a wonderful biography of General Nelson A. Miles (1839-1925), one of America’s most celebrated generals. Author Virginia W. Johnson covers General Miles’ career; from his service in the Civil War and his incredible success in the Indian Wars—including the capture of Geronimo and Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces—to serving as the Commanding General of the Army during the Spanish-American War. The Unregimented General is the portrait of a great frontier general, as distinguished as he was controversial. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs and maps by the author’s husband, Brig.-Gen. Walter M. Johnson. “The clear, crisp, action-filled narrative presents the wealth of concrete, significant detail that one expects of a good history [...] Mrs. Johnson knows the West, and graphically describes the hardships that Miles and his men endured while campaigning through extremes of heat and cold in desolate, wildly beautiful terrain.”—New York Times Book Review

One of the most remarkable military careers in American history, the life of Nelson A. Miles encompasses the sweep of the American Civil War, the Indian Wars, and the Spanish American War. As a college-educated volunteer officer in the Civil War, Miles fought at Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Spotsylvania Courthouse, and the Wilderness, among other important campaigns, and was wounded four times. A major-general at only 26, he was a Medal of Honor recipient for his actions at Chancellorsville. As a commander in the Indian Wars, he had admiration and respect for many of the Indians he met, despite carrying out a ferocious war to subdue them. Under his command, the massacre at Wounded Knee occurred. Miles was not present, criticized the officer at the scene, and lobbied later for compensation to the survivors. He had face-to-face negotiations with Sitting Bull shortly after Custer's defeat at the Little Bighorn, and later met with Geronimo (accepting his surrender), Chief Joseph, Natchez, and other leading Native Americans. Miles eventually retired as Commander of the Army in 1903. For the first time, this long out-of-print volume is available as an affordable, well-formatted book for e-readers and smartphones.
