Instructions for Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of Cavalry, on Outpost Duty
Arentschildt, Alexander Carl Friedrich von
Cavalry drill and tactics; Guard duty
"This is a mere pocket-book in size, but it is crowded with
instruction for military men--instruction gathered and condensed
from the great bulk of works on military science. It encloses grains
of wheat, threshed, as it were, out of the great stack--is simple,
convenient and comprehensive. It is from the pen of Captain Buckholtz,
of this city, a gentleman who has seen service on the continent of
Europe, and who is an accomplished officer."--_Richmond Dispatch._
"We are always pleased to meet with a Southern Book, one written,
printed and bound in our own section by our own people, and we
therefore greet with pleasure two military works now before us, by
Captain Buckholtz, and published by J.W. Randolph, Richmond.
The first is "_On Infantry Camp Duty, Field Fortification, and Coast
Defense_." Under the head of Infantry Camp Duty we are instructed in
out guards, patrols, vanguard, side-guard, rear guard, ambuscade,
surprise, and transports. In Field Fortification we have instructions
on fortifications, regularly constructed forts, attack and defense,
fortresses, and a description of the principal parts of fortified
works.
The chapter on Coast Defense is most excellent.
As an elementary work on the subjects treated, this book has no
superior, and we commend it to our military.
The second book is, "_Tactics for Officers of Infantry, Cavalry,
and Artillery_." This is a most complete military work, comprising
instruction in the three departments of the army, and contains much
information which we have never met with in the popular military works
of the day."--_Norfolk Southern Argus._
Published and for sale by
J.W. RANDOLPH, RICHMOND, VA.
