Fort Sill, located in the heart of the old Kiowa-Comanche Indian country in southwestern Oklahoma, is known to a modern generation as the Field Artillery School of the United States Army. To students of American frontier history, it is known as the focal point of one of the most interesting, dramatic, and sustained series of conflicts in the records of western warfare. From 1833 to 1875, in a theater of action extending from Kansas to Mexico, the strife was almost uninterrupted. The U.S. Army, Kansas militia, Texas Rangers, and white pioneers and traders were arrayed against the fierce and heroic bands of the Kiowas, Comanches, Cheyennes, Arapahoes, and Kiowa-Apaches. The savage skirmishes with the southwestern Indians before the Civil War provided many army officers with a kind of training that proved indispensable to them in that later, prolonged conflict. When hostilities ceased, Sherman, Sheridan, Dodge, Custer, Grierson, and other commanders again resumed the harsh field of guerrilla warfare against their Indian foes--tough, hard fighters. With the inauguration of the so-called Quaker Peace Policy during President Grant's first administration, the hands of the army were tied. The Fort Sill reservation became a place of refuge for the marauding bands that went forth unmolested to raid in Texas, Oklahoma, and Mexico. The toll in human life reached such proportions that the government finally turned the southwestern Indians over to the army for discipline, and a permanent settlement of the bands was achieved by 1875. From extensive research, conversations with both Indian and white eyewitnesses, and his familiarity with Indian life and army affairs, Captain Nye has written an unforgettable account of these stirring times. The delineation of character and the reconstruction of colorful scenes, so often absent in historical writing, are to be found here in abundance. His Indians are made to live again: his scenes of post life could have been written only by an army man.Binding Type: Paperback

What a Watch !!!
It's truly a very good watch, and I’m quite happy with it. Let me break down the reasons why:
The design: the front, the dial, the bezel, the case
It has an outstanding design and looks incredible on your wrist. It gives you that feeling of wanting to wear the all day, just because of how good it looks. The case dimensions are really nice—at 41mm, it’s relatively large but still within the wearable limit. The thickness of the case also helps a lot, since it doesn’t have an automatic movement or a date function, it’s much thinner than other Tissot chronographs and doesn’t feel like you’re carrying a rhinoceros on your wrist. The proportions and the positioning of the subdials give it a very premium feel. Of course, it’s not a Rolex Daytona, but that’s not what you're looking for here. What you’re looking for is something original, different, with a distinct racing look and bold colors, without crossing into gaudy territory.
The movement
I think having a manual movement in this watch is a total win. If you’re considering this watch, chances are you already own others with date functions and automatic movements—and if you don’t, it would pair nicely with this one. This isn’t meant to be a daily watch, for me. It’s a watch for relaxing, going out for drinks with friends, spending time with family, it’s more laid-back, more of a weekend watch. And for those moments, you don’t need to know the date, you just need to enjoy the experience. For daily wear, there are plenty of other options in all price ranges, from a Seiko 5 to a Datejust. The manual movement on this watch gives you a sense of connection to it, something special. It really adds a lot to the experience.
The price
Sure, it’s not a Seiko 5, but for what it offers—a chronograph, manual movement, from a brand with history and pedigree, without being a cheap knockoff of the Daytona—it’s an absolute win. This is one of those watches that adds to any collection, whether you’re just starting out or already have a box full of watches worth thousands of dollars. It won’t feel out of place, and you’ll always find an occasion to wear it.

Good comfort, quality and classy
Size: 8.5, Color: Black/Ivory
’ve been wearing Cole Haan dress sneakers for work and travel, and they strike a really good balance between professional and comfortable. The biggest advantage is how lightweight they feel compared to traditional dress shoes. Most styles have sneaker-like cushioning, so you can walk or stand all day without your feet getting destroyed.
The design is also versatile and look polished enough for business casual outfits but still casual enough to wear with jeans. They work especially well in office environments where a full formal shoe feels too stiff or outdated.

These Cole Haan Grand Crosscourt Daily shoes have quickly become my new favorite work shoes. They’re incredibly comfortable right out of the box, with just the right amount of cushioning and support to get through long days on my feet.
I love that they look sleek and professional while still feeling casual enough to wear anywhere. The build quality is top-notch—durable materials and solid construction that make them feel like they’ll last a long time.
Overall, these shoes strike the perfect balance between comfort, style, and practicality. I can honestly say I look forward to wearing them every day. Highly recommend for anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet but doesn’t want to sacrifice style.
