Fort Riley and Its Neighbors is a story of soldiers trying to save money and civilians trying to make it. The history of Fort Riley and its neighbors typifies the relations that evolved between the American people and their government throughout the American West. The settlers' approach to federal authority, at once supplicating and conniving, has persisted and thrived and become the national attitude.
