Nelson A. Miles and the Twilight of the Frontier Army
Based on a wide range of sources, including materials only recently made available to researchers, this first complete, carefully documented biography of Miles skillfully delineates the brilliant, abrasive, and controversial tactician whose career in many respects epitomized the story of the Old Army.
The Unregimented General
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

A Hero to His Fighting Men
In this reassessment of the career of Nelson A. Miles - which he began as a volunteer officer in the Civil War - the author suggests that comments made by his enemies influenced the way Miles's career has been viewed by historians and tries to readdress this.
Yellowstone Command
Shortly after Custer’s defeat in the Battle of the Little Bighorn, Colonel Nelson A. Miles and his Fifth Infantry launched several significant campaigns to destroy the Lakota–Northern Cheyenne coalition in the Yellowstone River basin. Miles’s expeditions involved relentless pursuit and attack throughout the winter months, culminating in the Lame Deer Fight of May 1877, the last major engagement of the Great Sioux War. Yellowstone Command is the first detailed account of the harrowing 1876–1877 campaigns. Drawing from Indian testimonies and many previously untapped sources, Jerome A. Greene reconstructs the ambitious battles of Colonel Miles and his foot soldiers. This paperback edition of Yellowstone Command features a new preface by the author.
