A Handbook for the Rank and File of the Army

August V. Kautz

$14.95
Hardcover, 303 pages, 5 drawings
Order Number:  0-8117-0399-1   I want to order this book.

Reproduction edition of the Civil War era guidebook
Indispensable for historians and reenactors

This was the Civil War soldier's and NCO's "how-to" guide to military duties in garrison and in the field. It covers of all ranks and services: infantry, cavalry, artillery, ordnance, quartermaster, signal, saddlers, hospital stewards, cooks, bands, as well as spies, pickets, expressmen, special forces. There is much quaint yet practical advice on survival, cooking and nutrition, pay, punishment, prisoners of war, and many long-extinct soldier skills. It contains the Articles of War used during the Civil War.

August Kautz (1826-1896) was a captain in the Sixth U.S. Cavalry and a brigadier general of U.S. volunteers during the Civil War. He is the author of several other military handbooks.
