| Abstract
|
:
|
"The era, from the turn of the century to the beginning of World War I, saw an American attitude shift toward structure, social duty, and middle class manly values. The federal government sponsored military education in schools, held military tournaments in cities, publicized military life through recruiting, promoted marksmanship contests, and encouraged public attendance at military maneuvers"--Provided by publisher.
