Abstract
“Warrior Turned Reformer: Emory Upton and the Modernization of the American Army” is James R. Hedtke's analysis of Upton's unwavering commitment to reforming the U.S. Army from his days as an ambitious junior officer in 1861 until his suicide in 1881. Born in 1839, Upton distinguished himself in combat during the Civil War in numerous campaigns, including First Bull Run, the Peninsula, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg and, most significantly, at the Wilderness where he introduced the tactic of massing infantry at isolated elements of the enemy's line.
