The U.S. Regulars Archive is a library of military manuals central to the training of United States Army officers and NCOs during the War of the Rebellion (1861-1865).
This collection includes text and graphics taken from original copies of a vide variety of works collected over the past few years:
Casey's Infantry Tactics of 1862 - from an original in my collection inscribed by a Sgt. T. Clark of NY.
Hardee's Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics of 1855 - from a set of original manuals in my collection signed by Maj. Floyd-Jones (4th U.S. Infantry) in 1857 at Ft. Columbus in New York Harbor. This is an extremely rare surviving example of a manual used by the Regular Infantry.
The 1864 Customs of Service for Non-Commissioned Officers & Soldiers - from an unsigned original.
Original editions of The Revised 1861 Regulations for the United States Army (1862) and the 1857 U.S. Army Regulations.
- An unsigned edition of Mahan's Elementary Treatise On Advanced-Guard, Out-Post, And Detachment Service Of Troops.
- The early translated edition of Jomini's, Summary of the Art of War - signed by West Point Cadets who used the book from 1857-1861 (most of whom became junior officers who would later fight for both the Union and the Rebellion).
- and so on, and so on...
