Included in this grouping is a nice 1862 dated military manual by D. H. Mahan Treatise on Field Fortification, complete with fold-out plates and 172 pages. Another early manual on field fortifications is dated 1801 published by the British War Office, Rules and Regulations for the Formations, Field-Exercise and Movements of His Majesty’s Forces. 104 pages with one folding plate. Rest of this grouping consists of 7 hard images of solider’s including one 6th plate of two armed soldiers; one exhibiting 2 pistols and the other a Bowie knife and a pistol, both wearing tall boots. There are 2 copy tintypes of Jefferson Davis in a gem sized case and General Custer in a CDV format. A CDV album with 26 photos of the Tribe Family. Included are 4 brothers: William, Pearson, James and John. A quick search of a Civil War database shows Pierson H. Tribe as enlisting at Owego, NY in the 64th New York in 1861. William Tribe also enlisting in 1861 in the 64th New York, killed at the Battle of Fair Oaks, June 1, 1861. John Tribe, also enlisted at Owego, New York in 1861 in the 5th New York Cavalry. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for action on August 25, 1862 at Waterloo Bridge, VA. William and Pierson are shown in uniform; John and James are in civilian dress. CONDITION: Both manuals are in good condition as far as text and completeness, but both have defects to covers. Spine chipping and loose front board on British. Images are all average “as found”. One case is missing top and two cases have loose tops. CDV album is “as found”. No images were removed and there are ink inscriptions under all images, identifying them. Interesting album starting with family matriarch, all the way to grandchildren and at least 3 Civil War soldiers. 52222-18 (1,200-1,500)
