| Summary | "Frontier Service During the Rebellion" by George H. Pettis is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book details the experiences of Company K of the First Infantry, California Volunteers during the American Civil War. It focuses on the challenges faced by Union troops stationed at the frontier in California and New Mexico, providing insights into military life, skirmishes, and interactions with Indigenous peoples amid the broader context of the rebellion. In this compelling narrative, Pettis recounts the formation and deployment of his regiment in response to the Civil War, emphasizing the urgency felt in California after the Bull Run battle. The story follows Company K's arduous journey as they march over difficult terrains, encounter severe weather conditions, and confront Native American tribes, interspersed with moments of tension and camaraderie among the soldiers. Highlighting various episodes, such as their arrival in Tucson and a fierce engagement with rebels, the book paints a vivid picture of military duty during this tumultuous period, while also documenting personal trials and triumphs faced by the men of Company K as they fulfill their commitment to the Union.
