Spock's Still the Authority.......2004-07-09
Ten years ago with the birth of my first child, I received 6 different books on baby care--all from the best sellers list. Over the next 10 years each of them, at one time or another, was heaved against a wall at 2 am or tossed into the kitchen trash can. Dr. Spock's Baby and Child Care helped me to correctly diagnose croup in my 6 month old daughter, which led to a call to the pediatrician as opposed to a trip to the ER. Dr. Spock calmly and reassuringly helps parents learn THEY are the experts about their own children.
Nothing else as thorough and easy to read.......2004-03-31
As a second-time mother who's read Dr. Spock, Dr. Brazelton, and Dr. Sears' baby care books, I still reach for Spock whenever I have a question, or an uncertainty about something. This book is extensive in its coverage of both big and little issues, from diapering to feeding, and on into adolescence, ecompassing details as well as emotional aspects of what you're doing, if applicable. I find his philosophies and techniques to be a terrific common sense, middle ground, and reassuring resource. Even if you enjoy other parenting books, this one is a must- sort of an encyclopedia of infant/child issues, as the index is detailed and thorough. Keep this one in your library!
For those who read it thoroughly, an excellent work.......2004-01-06
It would appear that some reviewers vehmently loath Dr. Spock yet they quite blatantly have missed the very key point of everything he said. Throughout the book he stresses numerous times the importance of following YOUR instincts and that he is only SUGGESTING methods for CERTAIN situations and he states quite clearly that it is of the utmost importance to realize that every child is different and parents are human and therefore you should not apply his methods, or any other "experts" methods to ALL cases without using YOUR OWN judgements. The core of everything Dr. Spock said was love your children and enjoy the experience of being a parent. He gives confidence to first time parents and a great deal of helpful advice on every aspect of baby and child care. One can get a great deal out of Dr. Spock's work, but only if they are patient, thorough readers with a certain amount of common sense.
The Final Frontier... of childcare?.......2003-07-02
Any "Star Trek" fan would not want this book! It turns out it's not about "Star Trek"! It's about Childcare! Who would have guessed? We're loosing power, Scotty!
Dr Spock and Baby Wise.......2003-05-30
I own both of these books, and I've read Sears too. I think they are all a little extreme in their beliefs. I don't believe in letting your child sleep with you, so that's why I put a cot in my twins' room and slept with them the first 3 months. I believe in teaching good sleeping habits because I know that it is BEST for my child, and I'm willing to look at their long-term happiness and not just their short-term happiness, and ways to ease MY conscious. I pushed my children a little every night to sleep further and further, and it was not a traumatic experience at all. Once they proved to me that they could do it we never looked back. My twins have slept from 8pm to 7am since 3 months of age, and only get up if they are sick. I've not let them get sick often so I haven't had to worry about them forming the habit of waking up. They are extremely secure with putting themselves back to sleep without my assistance if they happen to wake up for no reason. My kids take wonderful naps because I truely believe that a well rested child sleeps better at night. I certainly agree with the other reviewers that you should never let your child scream until they vomit. That is just cruel! I just feel sorry for people who have 2 and 3 year olds who still get them up during the night. Shame on you PARENTS, for not doing your job!!!

Book Description
1890. Illustrated. The literary novels of Charles King are ones of Victorian ideals, morals and views played out on western frontiers, the Civil War, and the Spanish Philippines. His often melodramatic stories are based on personal adventures and experiences with detailed observations and opinions arising from specific times and places. Publishing over 60 novels and numerous short stories, King was a popular author in his day, yet today is known mostly for this volume, Campaigning With Crook. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
Download Description
Campaigning with Crook is one of Charles King?s most popular books and is considered one of the best first-person accounts of the western Indian Wars of over 100 years ago. Soldier, military historian and novelist, King was one of the few military officers to have served in all U.S. war efforts from the Civil War through World War I. Written by then Captain King in 1880, it details his service as a lieutenant in the 5th Cavalry during the Sioux campaign of 1876, the same unit where William F. ?Buffalo Bill? Cody was chief scout and close friend.

Echo of Frontier Campaigning in Former Blockbuster.......2003-12-18
Charles King is an interesting read. His "Campaigning With Crook" follows his months of hard service in pursuit of the Indians who brought Custer to earth.
Their campaign was brutal. Across 1500 miles of trails, 2,000 cavalry and infantry tried to bring their foes to battle. They had to travel light to have any chance of catching their supple enemy. Light travel meant no tents, light equipage, few overcoats, scarce rations and no oats for the horses. As a result, men traveled and slept in the rain (once for eleven consecutive days), shivered in the cold and drenched themselves in northern streams and rivers crossing fords that reached chin level in some places. Only two Indian fights of note occurred for all their efforts and in the end the men lost over 2/3 of their horses to overwork, starvation and the need to fill their own bellies (we do learn that captured Indian pony meat is much sweeter and less stringy than horseflesh).
This is a fascinating book. The author is in high bravado and so are his comrades. War work, the actual fighting, seems like sport to some of the men. Bravery and coolness under fire abound. Convinced of the nobleness of their cause, these soldiers suffer none of the introspection, war weariness, confused morality or lack of certainty of their right that one associates with modern war literature (at least as portrayed by Charles King). The first person account of hard life on the trail is a wonderment; I couldn't imagine many people, professionals or otherwise, suffering the privations and elements today the way these soldiers did -- they almost expected such chance and treatment and bore up incredibly well in body and attitude.
The book gets a few dings for what now reads like antiquated writing style (and very prevalent in late 1800 prose. I admit this is probably because a modern audience has not been raised on this style). Pasted together like associated magazine articles (I wondered if this had originally been issued in installments), the story is jumpy and disconnected in many parts. There is much dialogue with the reader that is largely absent from today's writings (ie, "and now, dear reader, I take you to an incident that could have been mentioned before during the description of our starting out, but for want of brevity of that narrative was delayed until now...." -- I'm paraphrasing this, but examples like it are found throughout the book).
This is a book rich in details that fascinate. It is not well assembled and lacks flow, but for first-person historical remembrance, it does a nice job.
