1897 Civil War General Nelson Miles Native American INDIANS Catlin Railroads

Nelson A Miles was a 19th-century American military officer who was most remembered for his involvement in the Civil War and the American Indian Wars. In his personal memoirs, he wrote of great battles throughout American, his account of the election of Abraham Lincoln as President, surveys of the trans-continental railroad, and personal studies of Native Americans, along with that of George Catlin. His memoirs, or ‘Personal Recollections’, focus primarily on his experiences with Indians, rather than pertaining to his career as a Civil War general.

According to Nevins,

“In both of his memoirs, Miles treated his Civil War service as but a prelude to his successes against the hapless Indians of the West.”
