Most Civil War generals were graduates of West Point, and many of them helped transform the U.S. Army from what was little better than an armed mob that performed poorly during the War of 1812 into the competent fighting force that won the Mexican War. Wayne Wei-siang Hsieh demonstrates how the "old army" transformed itself into a professional military force after 1814, and, more important, how "old army" methods profoundly shaped the conduct of the Civil War.

Excerpt from I Married a Soldier: Or Old Days in the Old Army In sending forth this account of incidents in my army life, I claim for it no literary merit; I have simply given facts without any attempt to elaborate them. First intended for my children and grandchildren, I afterwards thought this narrative might be acceptable to army friends, and to many of a younger generation who are interested in the old army. To the former the scenes described may awaken long-forgotten experiences in their own lives; to the latter it will carry the conviction that they will never be called upon to endure what we did. To-day there is no "frontier;" the wilderness blossoms as the rose; our old deadly enemy, the Indian, is educated, clothed, and almost in his right mind; railroads run hither and yon, and the great trains of army wagons and ambulances are things of the past, whatever civilization may follow. The hardy, adventurous element in those early pioneer days will ever possess an interest of its own, and I venture to hope that the record of my own experiences will contribute somewhat to the history of those heroic times.

The all-volunteer army served the country as professional soldiers for reasons of patriotism or adventure or even economics, since monthly pay of twenty-one dollars was to some men better than nothing and better than charity. Many men reenlisted time and time again. Whether a private was stationed in Texas or New Jersey for his three-year hitch, he first had basic training, the length of which varied according to how long it took each soldier to master the fundamental skills of the infantryman. If an enlisted man grew tired of the disciplined life where he had no responsibility except to follow basic orders, he could purchase an honorable discharge. If he couldn't come up with the cash from his twenty-one dollar pay envelope or winnings from poker or dice, he could go AWOL and after ninety days the army would simply remove the soldier from the rolls with a court-martial in absentia and a dishonorable discharge.

WAR DEBRIS - TALES OF THE OLD ARMY is an authentic collection of 21 short stories that reveal an uncommon perspective regarding military service. Candidly presented in graphic and uncompromising terms the work introduces an indelicate fictional approach to army life, vividly chronicled without pretense or sentimentality, during a previous era. The literary creations offer a blunt portrayal of rarely explored facets of military duty and its attending affairs. The author, Emmett E. Slake, a thirty-year veteran of the United States Army contains his fascinating fictional meanderings to the period of the early 1950s to the late 1970s in a diverse panorama of exotic global settings extending from home bases to overseas stations in Europe and Asia. Augmenting the spectacle, an array of sharply drawn characters emerge, adroitly framed in compelling situations that illuminate as well as entertain. The sordid aspects of conduct that often arise are starkly revealed without overt salaciousness. The mosaic of soldiers, civilians, and other assorted foreign personages preside and endure through a variety of intriguing and often tragic events in conditions hostile and benign. This mélange of melodrama advances from harsh outposts in hazardous environs, manned by the subordinate levels of command, to the mundane social landscape of the privileged upper echelons of rank. All, are present and accounted for. To those who stood in the ranks and shared the joys, perils and heartbreaks, the stories will serve as a faded remembrance of their own narrow place in history.
