by Clyde W. Toland (Author)

Praise for Toland's research and writing . . .

"An engrossing, engaging, and superbly written account of 'Fearless Fred' Funston's formative years in rural Kansas, which molded the individual who would go on to command forces in the Philippines, earn a Medal of Honor, and ultimately command in 1917 the largest US Army since the Civil War. Clyde Toland's narrative clearly reflects Toland's life-long interest in Frederick Funston and Allen County, his impressive capabilities as a researcher, and his incisive analytical skills as a lawyer. The product of his work is a truly delightful read!"-General David Petraeus, US Army (Ret.), former Commander of the Surge in Iraq, US Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA
"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
