Condition: New. 2003 N & M Press reprint of 1861 original Edition . SB. 232pp 67plans. On 20 April 1861 the Civil War in the United States opened with the capture of Norfolk Navy Yard by the Confederate forces from the South, and the war raged for four more years, with, as usual, the greater number of casualties being among the…infantry. Infantry battle tactics were determined at the time by the firearms with which they were issued, and the main infantry weapon was the Springfield rifle musket. This muzzle loaded weapon was slow to fire, and marginally accurate, even with the new Minie ball: this meant that the tactics on the field of battle were almost unchanged from those of the Napoleonic wars, fought fifty years previously. This book shows how such evolutions (they were little more than drills) at battalion level were adapted and used to enable commanders to deliver the weight of their firepower on to the enemy. All the prescribed manoeuvres could be practised on the drill square, so that once the men were in battle, all they had to do was obey orders, present their weapons and fire. Of course, all the drills in the world do not prevent panic, and records show that despite all the training, some men reloaded their weapons so many times without firing that the weapons were rendered useless. The book is extremely well illustrated with 67 plates of all the movements in plan form.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the detrimental effects of alcohol both on its victims and on the society they live in. Argued from a perspective that recognizes the increasing dangers surrounding drinking habits in the 19th century, the author paints a bleak picture of the suffering wrought on min…d and body by alcohol abuse. However, beyond its simple condemnation, this book also explores the complex and gripping stories of recovery, and how the drinkers who have fallen into an alcoholic pattern of living may find their way back to a fulfilling life. With insights into the lives of individuals transformed from the grips of addiction, this book encapsulates the hope and hardship faced by those who choose to fight the battles of sobriety. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
