RARE Confederate Captured Tactics Manual CSA Virginia Civil War 1862 Stonewall
This is a super scarce "captured" federal tactics book... This belonged to Joseph Woodruff who organized company K of the 39th Illinois , he wrote his name in bold ink on the inside cover along with "Company K".. The next page is in the hand of Oliver Hazard Perry Kite of the 33rd Virginia who writes that he "got" this book at Bath Springs Morgan County Virginia (WV) January 4th 1862 then next page over he writes the same but replaces got with "captured"....
Much research material is a available about this date which was basically Jackson coming in and driving troops including the 39th Illinois out of Bath Va in the snow , several reports mention items being dropped and left by federals in a hurry so that could be the case with this , needless to say quite a big deal to Confederate to run across something like this , all pages are in tact as far as I can tell pullouts also some neat dirty muddy or bloody fingerprints can be seen , being that this was Stonewalls boys this book probably saw some hard marching , Kite would eventually die in May of 1864.... Lots of captured Yankee stuff out there (real or not lol) but not many real deal captured Yank stuff comes along , the binding on this is good looks like a water stain on the front , if only this could talk , very neat piece of history , any questions please ask..
