If anyone is interested, I purchased an authentic Confederate Tactics Manual, signed by “Col S.B. Gibbons” on the Inside fly-leaf. The manual is, “Rifle and Light Infantry Tactics for The Exercise and Maneuvers of Troops…”, Philadelphia, Lippincott, Grambo, & Co., 1855, 232 pages…there are dozens of illustrations. The front cover is slightly loose, but the interior is in very good condition. Inside the inside fly-leaf is the owner’s signature and it is written exactly like this:
Col. S.B. Gibbons
Harrisonburg
July 13th Va
1860
It’s written in ink and is still very dark and legible.
If anyone wants to buy, I would sell it for $2,500. Leave your email address and I can email you pictures.
