New Patten's Reprint

[neocelt]

Nein!

Viele Grüsse, Jan!

Nein. Taurig.

Perhaps this would be a good research & development project for you, mein junger Freund?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,


PS: A printing of Patten's Cavalry Drill also appeared in 1864--don't know how I missed that one. And to Todd: "...lack people skills," why, whatever do you mean?

Re: New Patten's Reprint

I did some searching and here's the good news: I did find a copy of Patten's Cavalry Tactics "auf Deutsch":

Title: Patten's Cavallerie Taktik und das Säbel-Exerzitium nach den neuesten Verordnungen des Kriegsministeriums zusammengestellt,
nach den besten militärischen Quellen,
Author(s): Patten, George Washington, 1808-1882.
Publication: New-York, J.W. Fortune,
Year: 1861
Description: 160 p. illus. 17 cm.

As I said, that's the good news. The bad news is that this copy is held in the New York Public Library Reserve Collection. You'd have an easier time sneaking into Fort Knox than obtaining this title via interlibrary loan from the NYPL.
