Military Manuals
  • Hardee's 1855 Manual

  • Hardee's School of the Battalion--a discussion about how to read; in a sensical order as specified by Hardee himself (why didn't he write it that way?)

  • Casey's Tactics. Choose "US Regulars--Military Archives" and then "Casey's 1862 Infantry Tactics".

  • A modern-english interpretation of both Hardee's and Casey's Tactics has been done by reenactor Dominic dal Bello: Parade, Inspection and Basic Evolutions of the Infantry Battalion. Dom has several other great books as well on various aspects of reenacting based on 19th-century military manuals.

    The Drill Network presented by Co. H, 1st Maryland, CSA, and The Liberty Greys, 6th Regiment, 1st Division, ANV.

  • Good sources for military manuals are http://www.bookguy.com/Catalog/Military/manuals.htm and Dayton's own "Morningside Books" at http://www.morningsidebooks.com/.
