Written in 1861 at the direction of the War Department and copiously illustrated, this was the book used to train, lead, and manoeuvre US Infantry units on Civil War battlefields. It contains the school of the soldier, the company, and battalion or fielded regiment, along with all-important instructions for skirmishers. Over 15 pages of field music, the articles of war in use at the time, and a dictionary of Civil War military terminology completes this extensive work.
