Fort Riley And Its Neighbors: Military Money And Economic Growth, 18531895,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Fort Riley and Its Neighbors is a story of soldiers trying to save money and civilians trying to make it.Fort Riley stands today overlooking the Kansas River because army quartermasters in the 1850s thought that small steamboats could deliver supplies cheaply there. Civilians came to help build the fort and stayed to bid on the quartermasters contracts for feed and fuel.Army posts were often a magnet for settlers. Contracts for supplies and transportation brought hardtofind cash to small western towns, replacing systems of barter and credit and integrating them into the national economy.Townspeople kept a covetous eye on Fort Rileys land and its resources, and they voted bond issues to build shortline railroads in order to get competitive freight rates from transcontinental carriers. These short lines put Fort Riley at the center of the nations transportation system, assuring the forts survival for the next century.The history of Fort Riley and its neighbors typifies the relations that evolved between the American people and their government throughout the American West. The settlers approach to federal authority, at once supplicating and conniving, has persisted and thrived and become the national attitude.This book won first place in the Dr. Edward Tihen Historical Research and Publication competition, November 5, 1999. This award is presented by the Kansas State Historical Society for Kansas books written by firsttime authors.
