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\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.82 x 9.69 x 7.44 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 11, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53753891291443,"sku":"9781288741779","price":44.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hP_REY45099781288741779_c96433e3-8624-4aea-94ed-4e7a7705dfa7.webp?v=1785295688","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/soldiers-were-never-on-more-disagreeable-service-peace-operations-in-territorial-kansas-and-the-trans-missouri-west-1854-1956-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
