###128204; Originally issued as a three-volume series. Volume III (School of the Brigade) is not included in this listing. These manuals were official U. Army training texts used during the Civil War period. Due to their age, wear, and purpose, this set may have been used in active military training and possibly during the war era itself. No specific battlefield provenance is claimed. All pages present in both volumes. Bindings are good and intact. Original publisher's cloth bindings. Fold-out plates and diagrams present. Foxing, toning, and age spotting throughout, consistent with books from the 1860s. Period pencil ownership inscriptions and notes on endpapers. General wear from age and historical use (see photos). ###128204; No pages or plates missing. These are antique books over 160 years old. Please review all photos carefully - they are part of the description. Will be carefully packed to protect these historic volumes.
