In this Treatise, Francis J. Lippitt examines over 15 actual Civil War battles and numerous other battles in diverse wars to illustrate the precise use of battlefield tactics by Infantry, Artillery and Cavalry. The author presents an actual debriefing and assessment of how various commanders actually deployed their troops in individual actions which took place in some of the most important battles of the war. This book consolidates what a search of scores of other books might reveal about the exact tactics of the day related to each of these arms. It contains information which is essential to every military historian, and one would be remiss not to include this important work in their reference collection. It covers the tactical use of infantry, Artillery and Cavalry. Regarding the tactical use of infantry it covers the attack, formation for attack, how the attack is made, bayonet charges; defense against infantry, against artillery, and against cavalry; squares; and skirmishers (their use, how posted, how handled, rules for individual skirmishers). Regarding tactical use of artillery, the book covers how posted with respect to the ground, with respect to our own troops, and with respect to the enemy; posting of batteries and of pieces as between themselves, how used generally (in offensive combat, in defensive combat, against infantry, against cavalry, against artillery), its fire, and its supports. Regarding the tactical use of Cavalry the book covers its formations, its strong and its weak point, how posted, its supports, how used, how it fights, its charge, its attack on Infantry (generally and in squares), and general remarks.
