Ii is thus easy to see how little the science Of
arms was understood among us in 1872 and from
what causes
But this was not yet all the little Of tactics
which we at first used were most confused and i'll
applied No one system prevailed; but each COM
mandant of regiment usually adopted, at his
fancy, the old manual of Baron Steuben, lin real
ity Frederick the Great's,) or General Apoca-
lypse Smyth's medernized Steuben, or Colonel
William Daanes improvements upon all three.
In short, there could be no harmony Of movement
in the field two regiments would execute the
same order Quite differently; and every brigade
would be broken up by its own evolutions For
all this, there was but one remedy fortunately
very sure one. twas this that the regiments
were 80 seldom drilled CT exercised that they could
hardly think ofattempting manmuvre; and thus
manoevring became less fatal to them than it must
otherwise have been.
Such was, up to 1914, the condition Of our arms !;
condition for which, in spite Of the warlike ge-
MUS Of our people, and the facility with which
they are made into fine soldiers, o remedy could
not have been found, or must have been found too
late, had not alabiIty. fEr swifter Of growth
In one than all the rest, sprung up In Scott, and
at single effort, extemporized for us the admir-
able army Of General Brown, the basis Of all our
subsequent military system.
