Publisher's Synopsis
Praise for Toland's research and writing . . .
"Many are familiar with the Funston name due to Frederick Funston's famed military career, but his early life and adventures were just as noteworthy. Indeed, this part of his life was sometimes more exciting, if that is possible, and it was critical to his later success. No one is more eminently qualified to write about the young Frederick Funston than Clyde Toland. Clyde is, hands down, the leading Funston scholar, with decades of research and curation experience with the subject. It is wonderful to see Clyde's work come together in a new book series on Funston. In this volume, Clyde does not merely rely on the same repeated stories, but on a wide array of extensive research, which he critically examined for accuracy. His meticulous research and polished writing style create an indispensable book. I savored reading this book, including reading the detailed notes. Clyde's work on Funston is certain to become the seminal study on the subject."-Jarrett Robinson, BA History, MS International Relations, student of Frederick Funston's life for thirty years
