OCLC adds eight copies (West Point, Alabama Archives, Birmingham/Jefferson Co. Public, Duke, Charleston Library Society, S.C. State Library, South Carolina, Strasbourg). Quite scarce in trade, we find no other copies currently on the market and no sales recorded at auction on RareBookHub or ABPC (for the past 42 years, 1976-2018). Old tideline in outer margin of last few leaves, rather persistent foxing, but a good solid copy of a scarce ante-bellum southern military manual.
