Shows all Army troop movements by land and sea over the preceding year. Includes topography, hydrography, forts, towns and international boundaries. With an average effective force of about 10,000 men, the Army was hard pressed to provide adequate security to its citizens, particularly in the northern frontiers of Texas, Arkansas, Arizona and Minnesota. Thus it was necessary to constantly withdraw forces from one frontier to reinforce another. Excessive activity, fatigue and disease were ever prevalent.
