Source for Engineering Manual

[Major Duane]

I recently saw a repro of the US Field Manual for Engineers at a sutler. I can't remember the name of the manual or the sutler.

Does anyone know of to what I am referring and a possible source? Sorry to be so vague. I think it was actually written by Major James Duane. Ironic question, huh?

Thanks,

John Adams

You may also find the online texts here of some interest in this area of study:

That website is a tremendous resource that is probably under-utilized by reenactors.

I ran across that site last night. It definitely is worth a longer look.
