Focusing on essays published since 1970 in leading scholarly journals, as well as state and regional journals, Watson (U.S. Military Academy at West Point) has collected 29 examples of analytic military history that treat topics in US warfare from 1784 to 1861. Representative topics include the role of the Army in western settlement; politics and command in the American Army from 1791 to 1796; the opponents of naval expansion in the Early National period; the role of logistics in the American offensive failure during the War of 1812; the making and remaking of the Army officer corps in the era of the War of 1812; diplomacy, expansion, and the American military buildup of 1815-1816, violence and disorder among soldiers and settlers in the Second Seminole War, Army officers attitudes towards Indians from 1830 to 1860; the origins of Army politics in the United States before the Civil War, the struggle between sectionalism and nationalism at ante-bellum West Point, and the Army during the secession crisis in California in 1860-1861.
