The book has brown cloth boards with gilt titles and decoration; it was illustrated in part by Frederick Remington. Nelson Miles' army career spanned 42 years, starting in the Union Army in 1861. When Miles finally retired in 1903 he had attained the rank of Lieutenant General and held the office of Commanding General of the United States Army.
