Libro Prima edizione
Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. ix, [1], 375, [5] p. Illustrations. Index. Foreword by Jerome A. Greene, a noted western military historian. This rare book contains not only complete specifications but detailed line drawings of virtually every item of uniform and equipment issued. It is a valuable reference for articles used during the 1870s and 1880s, the period of the Indian wars. '[This book] marked a milestone in the development of standards and specifications for clothing and equipment.by the War Department'-Jerome A. Greene. For much of the nineteenth century, the production of military clothing and equipment was geared to national emergencies. During the Mexican and Civil wars, the hardpressed Quartermaster Department was forced to rely on civilian and, later, European suppliers. A contract system too often resulted in profiteering, inferior goods, and administrative confusion. By 1887 reforms in the system were accompanied by strict specifications for material, which were published by the War Department in 1889 and distributed to fewer than sixty officers in the Quartermaster Department. Never before reprinted, this rare book contains not only complete specifications but detailed line drawings of virtually every item of uniform and equipment issued, from mosquito bars and tent stoves to overalls for mounted men and uniform coat buttons ('the burnishing to be done in the best manner known to the trade'). This valuable reference for articles used by the army during the period of the Indian wars will be of special interest to collectors, historians, archaeologists, curators, and antique dealers. First Bison Book printing [stated]. First published in 1889.

Wraps. Revised edition. v, [1], 142 p. This type of ephemeral publication rarely survives. This provides a baseline for cost-estimation on war production transportation costs just prior to the U.S. entry into WWII This cancels Circular No. 5, OQMG 1929 and supplements Nos. 1 and 2 thereto. Without the assistance of the U.S. government, railroad construction between 1860 and 1900 would have been greatly curtailed. Building a railroad was an expensive venture. Private banks, fearing the railroad companies would need a long time to pay off their debts, were reluctant to loan money to the companies. To remedy the situation, Congress provided assistance to the railroad companies in the form of land grants. The land grant railroads, receiving millions of acres of public land, sold the land to make money, built their railroads, and contributed to a more rapid settlement of the West. In the end, four out of the five transcontinental railroads were built with help from the federal government. The figures shown herein have been prepared in the General Accounting Office and checked and approved by proper officials in the railroads concerns. Percentages of deductions shown herein apply between points on individual land-grans railroads only. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Small tear at top of front spine.

Prima edizione
Wraps. Condizione: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 225, [1] pages. Ex-library with some of the usual library markings. Marks, soiling, and chips to front cover. No rear cover present. Portion of the top half of pages 5 and 6 removed. Top of page 5 stated "Report of the Expedition to Andersonville, Georgia, during the months of July and August, 1865. The text removed from page 6 stated: "The desired boat was secured, and in twenty-four hours after the receipt of the telegram alluded to, I was on my way with men and material for Augusta. On my arrival there, I found the railroad completed to Macon, and that from Macon to Andersonville having never been broken, experienced little difficulty in reaching my destination, where I arrived July 25, after a tiresome trip, occupying six days and nights. At Macon, Major General Wilson detailed one company of the 4th United States cavalry and one from the 137th regiment United States colored troops to assist me. A member of the former company was killed on the 5th of August, at a station named Montezuma, on the Southwestern railroad. The rolling stock on all the roads over which I travelled is in a miserable". Captain James M. Moore, assistant quartermaster United States Army, led the expedition to Andersonville in the summer of 1865 which established the National Cemetery. This booklet includes his official report of the expedition and includes a listing of the dead buried at Andersonville. This list was published by the government to compete with Dorence Atwater's list of the Andersonville dead, also published in 1866. The Andersonville National Historic Site, located near Andersonville, Georgia, preserves the former Andersonville Prison (also known as Camp Sumter), a Confederate prisoner-of-war camp during the final fourteen months of the American Civil War. Most of the site lies in southwestern Macon County, adjacent to the east side of the town of Andersonville. The site also contains the Andersonville National Cemetery and the National Prisoner of War Museum. The prison was created in February 1864 and served until April 1865. The site was commanded by Captain Henry Wirz, who was tried and executed after the war for war crimes. The prison was overcrowded to four times its capacity, and had an inadequate water supply, inadequate food, and unsanitary conditions. Of the approximately 45,000 Union prisoners held at Camp Sumter during the war, nearly 13,000 died. The chief causes of death were scurvy, diarrhea and dysentery. Excerpt from the report: The noted prison pen is fifteen hundred and forty feet long, and seven hundred and fifty feet wide, and contains twenty-seven acres. The dead line is seventeen feet from the stockade, and the sentry boxes are thirty yards apart. The inside stockade is eighteen feet high, the outer one twelve feet, and the distance between the two is one hundred and twenty feet. Nothing has been destroyed ; as our exhausted, emaciated, and enfeebled soldiers left it, so it stands to-day, as a monument to an inhumanity unparalleled in the annals of war. How men could survive as well as they did in this pen, exposed to the rays of an almost tropical sun by day and drenching dews by night, without the slightest covering, is wonderful. The ground is filled with holes where they had burrowed, in their efforts to shield themselves from the weather, and many a poor fellow, in endeavoring to protect himself in this manner, was- smothered to death by the earth falling in upon him. A very worthy man has been appointed superintendent of the grounds and cemetery, with instructions to allow no buildings or structures of whatever nature to be destroyed, particularly the stockade surrounding the prison pen. The stories told of the sufferings of our men while prisoners here have been substantiated by hundreds, and the skeptic who will visit Andersonville, even now, and examine the stockade, with its black, oozey mud, the cramped and wretched burrows, the dead line and the slaughter-house, must be a callous observer, indeed, if he is not convinced that the miseries depicted of this prison pen are no exaggerations.

Hardcover. War Department Document No. 562. 2 volume set. Includes: illustrations, diagrams. Volume I (iii, [1], 803 p. ) Volume II (594). Change 1 and Change 2 laid in. This two volume set represents the state of the art, state of knowledge, and state of practice at the time of the entry of the United States into the First World War. From Wikipedia: "The United States Army Quartermaster Corps is a Sustainment, formerly combat service support (CSS), branch of the United States Army. It is also one of three U.S. Army logistics branches, the others being the Transportation Corps and the Ordnance Corps. The Quartermaster Corps is the U.S. Army's oldest logistics branch, established 16 June 1775. On that date, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution providing for "one Quartermaster General of the grand army and a deputy, under him, for the separate army". From 1775 to 1912, this organization was known as the Quartermaster Department. In 1912, Congress consolidated the former Subsistence, Pay, and Quartermaster Departments to create the Quartermaster Corps. Quartermaster units and soldiers have served in every U.S. military operation from the Revolutionary War to current operations in Iraq (Operation Iraqi Freedom) and Afghanistan (Operation Enduring Freedom)."
