And Other Stories (Classic Reprint) Excerpt from An Initial Experience: And Other Stories Fifteen years ago there were no soldier stories - so far as the regulars were concerned. War literature was abundant: hosts of tales, long and short, good, bad, and indifferent, had been told and were in active circulation regarding the volunteers and their stirring service during the four years' struggle; but of the life and doings of the soldier of the little standing army - either during the days of the Rebellion or the still more hazardous and trying times on the Indian frontier, the people knew next to nothing. Just why this should have been so, it is hard to say. With such rich mine of experiences to draw upon, with men to paint the scenes who had been both actor and artist in the field, there were still no pictures of our bluecoats on the border. Then, one by one the "professionals" began to take up the pen, and in the columns of military periodicals to tell of scenes and deeds whereof the public had never heard. Soon these began to find their way into framing of their own and be offered in open market, and lo !the reading public bid for more, and others came, and brush was added to pen, and artists like Remington and Zogbaum illumined the pages of the great weeklies and the magazines with vivid scenes from our life on the plains.
