REALLY A RARE ONE! ONLY COPY THIS DEALER HAS SEEN IN 20+ YEARS!
CONTAINS VITAL INFORMATION AS THE OLD SAYING GOES, "THE ARMY MARCHES ON ITS STOMACH." IT SEEMS AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK TO FEED ALL THOSE MEN SUBSTANTIAL VICTUALS.
The Confederates copied this manual which is impossible to find, but when so, is extremely expensive.
This copy saw real service during the War. Inscribed on the front endpaper is "Office of the Post Commissary, New Bern, N.C., August 29, 1863”.
