Opis: Our United States Army (Classic Reprint) - Wright Helen S.

Excerpt from Our United States Army

Helen S. Wright has presented briefly and in compact form a summary of the Army's work in the development and building up of our country.

Our people understand little of the Army's work aside from its purely military activities. The average citizen looks upon the Army simply as a destructive force, seldom appreciating that it is one of the strongest constructive forces we have ever had.

The author begins with the early work of the Army, follows it through the Indian days, its various activities after the Civil War, and finally ends with briefly touching upon its constructive work in Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines and Panama, emphasizing the fact that the foundation of the existing civil governments in Cuba, the Philippines and Panama were laid by soldiers, and that the foundation was so securely laid that the civil governments which followed had a comparatively easy task.

In dealing with Panama, the importance of Reed's great discovery in Yellow Fever is brought out, a discovery which has made the western tropics a white man's country for all time through ridding it of its most dreaded scourge.
