Horse Packing, Vol. 49: A Manual of Pack Transportation
Excerpt from Horse Packing, Vol. 49: A Manual of Pack Transportation
But I am under obligations to various gentlemen whose suggestions, or methods, have appeared to me of great value in presenting and arranging this subject. There is the unknown gentleman - perhaps many of them - who have devised or evolved the typical method of preparing Army drill regulations of the United States. It is the most compact, exact and limpid method of standardizing and transmitting information of this char acter that has been devised. A thousand years from now men who have never seen the execution of an evolution of our present generation could work and drill in the forgotten maneuvres with as great an exactness as soldiers are drilled to-day. And that is the test of clearness.
