Abstract

Few army officers of the post-Civil War era contributed more to the destruction of the Indian barrier to westward expansion than did Brig. Gen. Ranald Slidell Mackenzie. Yet, despite his importance to the military history of the American frontier, little is known of the man. Few if any students have exploited archival materials, while an absence of Mackenzie's personal papers has encouraged superficial sketches of his career.
