Excerpt from Practical Field Exercises in Minor Tactics and Strategy, for Use of the Regular Army and the Militia The author's interest in the subject of practical field instruction in tactics dates from 1884, when he spent a year in Europe studying at the Royal School of Mines, Freiberg, Saxony, visiting the principal military schools of Germany, Austria, France, and England, and attending the French maneuvers.
