Military manuals of the 18th and 19th centuries

Google that and it will lead to a Google Books webpage listing
many downloadable manuals. Not all are American, as there
are several which are British. Stil, if one wants tactics, ordnance,
regulations and the like, this is an invaluable service. Civil War
historians can delve into period manuals and get a grasp of
battlefield tactics. I wish that I had found this site years ago.
