Excerpt from Hints and Helps for National Guardsmen: A Hand-Book for the Militia The purpose of the author, in undertaking this work, was to furnish to volunteers and militia a manual which should contain some information and instruction in regard to matters not fully comprehended in the tactics, particularly such points as those who have not been regularly trained in military service are not very familiar with. The young officer of the National Guard is usually called into service from civil life, and he must meet with difficulties on every hand. He cannot ask his inferior officers for information, and does not wish to seem to be ignorant of his duties in the eyes of his superiors. Therefore, that which is comparatively simple to the experienced soldier is difficult for the officer of the National Guard, whose opportunities for the attainment of practical knowledge, by experience, may not have been extensive. The object of this book can be stated in a few words. It is to aid the inexperienced to become familiar with the theories and details of military duty, which are absolutely necessary to those who wish to become competent officers in the line, field, or staff.
