This dissertation seeks to fill that void. Chapters include: great expectations, limited resources- the frontier army as a constabulary force, 1854-1856; political means and ends- expansion and slavery collide in Kansas, 1854-1856; the army, Indians, and peace enforcement operations of the Plains- the Sioux expedition of 1855; conflicting interests- peace, land, and speculation in territorial Kansas, 1854-1856; from the \"Wakarusa War\" to the dispersal of the Topeka legislature- peacekeeping and command, control, communications and information (C3I) during \"Bleeding Kansas\"; and applying the tourniquet of peace- John Geary, the army, and the election of 1856.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929626837280,"sku":"NEW1288741774","price":41.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/soldiers-were-never-on-more-disagreeable-service-peace-operations-in-territorial-kansas-and-the-trans-missouri-west-1854-1956-1288741774","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
