Excerpt from Points in Minor Tactics The object of this book is to place between two covers, as a sequel to the drill regulations and guard manual, some elementary information on minor tac tics, gathered from a number of authorized text books for the use of the members of the National Guard. The book is addressed to infantrymen, and where passing reference is made to cavalry and artillery the reader can gain further information by turning to the authorities quoted. The number of foreign references is to be ex plained by the fact that this country has had no seri ous experience of warfare for thirty years, during which time there have been great changes in arma ment and methods. Consequently, Americans, in considering military subjects, have been forced to find much of their recent information abroad.
