This is the third volume of (Ret.) Col. Thomas Ty Smith's military trilogy, which includes The Old Army in Texas (TSHA, 2000, 2020), and The Old Army in the Big Bend of Texas: The Last Cavalry Frontier, 1911-1921 (TSHA, 2018). Like his earlier works, this begins with a narrative of Army activities in Texas, this time focusing on the first three decades of the twentieth century, and includes a lengthy appendix that provides detailed unit locations and commanders of Army tactical units in Texas from 1900 to 1941.

This is the third volume of (Ret.) Col. Thomas Ty Smith's military trilogy, which includes The Old Army in Texas (TSHA, 2000, 2020), and The Old Army in the Big Bend of Texas: The Last Cavalry Frontier, 1911-1921 (TSHA, 2018). Like his earlier works, this begins with a narrative of Army activities in Texas, this time focusing on the first three decades of the twentieth century, and includes a lengthy appendix that provides detailed unit locations and commanders of Army tactical units in Texas from 1900 to 1941. This is the first project of its kind for this period, an era overlooked by many military historians. Smith explores a broad range of topics such as the effect of the Army reforms of 1903, the border challenge of the Mexican Revolution, the Army goals of reorganization and consolidation, advances in technology, the impact of World War I, and the Army involvement with the Civilian Conservation Corps during the Great Depression. This work will appeal to the general reader as a story well-told and will be invaluable to both historians and archeologists with an interest in the U.S. Army and Texas.
