Summary "Campaigning with Crook and Stories of Army Life" by Captain Charles King is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book provides an insider's perspective on military campaigns, particularly focusing on the Sioux Campaign of 1876, and highlights the experiences of soldiers and their interactions with Native Americans during this turbulent period in American history. The opening of the narrative introduces the reader to the preparations at Fort Hays, where King and his fellow soldiers are eagerly awaiting orders amidst a backdrop of army life filled with social engagements and camaraderie. He recounts the recent battle on the Little Horn and the impending sense of action as news arrives regarding General Crook's campaign against the Sioux. With vivid descriptions of the regiment's significance and the environment, the text sets the stage for a gripping tale of bravery, strategy, and the harsh realities faced by soldiers on the frontier, culminating in a sense of duty and anticipation for the challenges ahead.
