From the rear cover of this 185 page book: "'The Field Manual for the Use of Officers on Ordnance Duty', prepared by the Confederate Ordnance Bureau in 1862, is rather unique when compared to other contemporary Confederate imprints. Unlike 'The Ordnance Manual' and the 'Ordnance Regulations' which wear almost verbatum copies of their northern counterparts, [this book] presents a fresh look at Confederate ordnance materials. Although there are certain sections borrowed from J.G. Benton's 'Ordnance and Gunnery' and 'The Ordnance Manual', this volume contains a wealth of original information. It can be viewed as the way things were, rather than ought to be." Contains chapters on: Ordnance, Projectiles, Artillery Carriages, Artillery Implements and Equipment, Artillery Harness, Small Arms, Swords, Sabres, Ammunition, Equipment of Batteries for Field Service, Mechanical Maneuvers and Artillery Practice in addition to many black and white photos of different pieces of equipment.
