A novel of the army on the frontier during the time of the Indian
outbreaks under Geronimo and others in the late seventies. Historically
the book is valuable--though this is nearly forgotten in its
interest--as a picture of scenes that can never be repeated; a book
which American social literature could ill afford to lose--while it is
also an absorbing love story.

"A picture of the great West--the West of the days of the Apache
raids--clear and vivid."--_Baltimore Sun._
"'The Heritage of Unrest' is a remarkable book, and in all respects
it is an interesting departure from the current line of fiction. It
is a story of American army life fully matching the frontier sketches
of Owen Wister, and told with such touches of offhand colloquialism,
now and again, as might mark the work of a Yankee Kipling."--_New York
World._
"In every respect--character, plot, style, scenes, descriptions, and
personages--the book is unconventional ... refreshing."--_Boston
Herald._
