Synopsis
Their heads filled with images of glory and battle, most young men joined the frontier army only to endure a life of tedious drills, bad meals, uncomfortable quarters, and ill-fitting uniforms.

- i***u (18)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI went through Hell and back trying to get this llp from Amazon, and they kept sending me the wrong record (first time was Def Leppard, next time They Might Be Giants), Yet another vendor sold me the cassette version, when I'd specifically ordered vinyl. Finally found Mr Robisomething and tried one more time to get the vinyl. Ordered from him snd all was as promised -- brand new copy, still in original shrink wrap and unblemished. All in all, and great experience. Thank you!
