-An army without a band was not a real army--at least that's what most nineteenth-century U.S. Army officers believed.

Bruce Gleason's superb history illuminates this little-known but highly significant corner of military history.---Durwood Ball, author of Army Regulars on the Western Frontier, 1848-1861
