Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed guide to bayonet fighting, translated from the French and adapted for use by the United States Army. The text, originally penned by an eminent fencing instructor named Gomard, was translated and modified by the author, a captain in the Corps of Engineers, in 1852. The author emphasizes the practical value of bayonet training for infantry soldiers, arguing that it equips them to defend against both infantry and cavalry attacks. The book delves into the principles of bayonet fencing, offering a systematic approach to learning the art. It features detailed instructions on individual movements, such as the guard, thrust, lunge, and parry, as well as combinations of these movements for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. The author includes diagrams illustrating these techniques, making the book a valuable tool for instructors and trainees alike. The book's historical context is evident in its focus on the use of the bayonet in 19th-century warfare, a period when this weapon played a significant role in infantry combat. The book's exploration of the bayonet as a crucial weapon for infantry soldiers during this era provides a fascinating glimpse into the tactics and training methods of the time. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
