Description
1862 CIVIL WAR General George McClellan Bayonet Manual Exercise US Army Military



“Manual of Bayonet Exercise” by General George Brinton McClellan is a guidebook for bayonet training for the U.S. Army, primarily adapted from the teachings of M. Gomard, a renowned French fencing instructor. McClellan championed the bayonet as a formidable weapon, asserting its superiority over other combat tools such as the lance or sabre. This manual offers a blend of solo, paired, and instructor-led training methods, emphasizing the importance of mastering individual movements before engaging in combat simulations. Illustrated with 24 engraved plates, the book equipped soldiers with detailed visual aids, ensuring proficiency in handling the weapon both for personal defense and in various battle scenarios for use prior, during, and after the American Civil War.
