Item Details
Description
Heading:
Author: Livermore, William Roscoe
Title: The American Kriegspiel. A Game For Practicing The Art Of War Upon A Topographical Map. By W. R. Livermore, Captain Corps Of Engineers U.S. Army. Tables and Plates
Place Published: Boston
Publisher:Houghton, Mifflin and Company
Date Published: 1882
Description:


Title-leaf + 11 plates of tables + 6 plates (incl. duplicate of plate 2). (Oblong 4to) 21x30 cm (8¼x11¾"), blue cloth lettered in gilt.



Atlas volume only of the scarce game of tactical conflict, lacking the text volume. One of the plates is a map, the others are color blocks of troops, indicators of military operations, and a "firing board." It seems a very complex and advanced game, more for military instruction than for fun. Ownership inscription dated 1894 on front free endpaper.

Condition
Spine ends and corners worn; front free endpaper torn; very good.
