This is a nice original edition of an Indian Wars War era US Cavalry Tactics Manual, printed in 1886.  It has an attractive brown leather cover with gold embossed title on it.  It still has the brass clasp to hold it closed but the receiver part is missing.  The front  cover is loose with one page attached.  The remaining book is tight and all pages are nice and bright.   All the illustrations of troopers in this manual are featured in the unique full dress uniform of the period, complete with the M1872 dress helmet.   539 pages.
