Synopsis
Hand-Book For Active Service by Egbert L. Viele. This Civil War–era manual offers a practical guide for volunteers, detailing how to organize, train, and sustain troops in the field. It explains the three-arm model of early American military organization (infantry, cavalry, artillery) and prescribes the ideal proportions for a 5,000-man force, then moves through recruitment, the school of the soldier, and the duties of a company and regiment. The text provides step-by-step drill instructions (standing positions, arms, salutes, marching) and emphasizes discipline and daily routine as the key to efficiency in campaign life. It also covers camp life, provisioning, guard mounting, and marches, with extensive guidance on fortifications, field works, and defense. The volume includes manuals for light and heavy artillery, ammunition handling, and appendices on field fortifications, such as redans and star forts, as well as practical receipts for cooking and hospital diets. A foundational reference for citizen-soldiers in the Civil War era, focusing on readiness, logistics, and practical military craft.
