A Soldier's Life Book Description
Neither rich, famous, nor notorious, Whiting was a loyal officer in the U.S. Army for three decades during the middle of the 19th century. His career began in the time of Daniel Webster and John C. Calhoun and coincided with a period in American history when the country was moving West in those tumultuous years of Manifest Destiny.
