---|---|---|---|---|
This 5½x7" book, written by Dr. Charles E. Taylor (1986) This reprint of an exceedingly rare pamphlet contains both a foreword and notations by David Winfred Gaddy, the foremost authority on the Confederate Signal Corps. Taylor served in the signal unit assigned to W.H.F. Lee's Cavalry Division for two years. Following his capture and subsequent release, he was transferred to the Signal Bureau in Richmond, Virginia, where he served for the duration of the war. Taylor gives a brief but revealing history of the Bureau's creation and methods of operation on all fronts and at sea. Originally printed in 1903, it remains, in Gaddy's words, "... the only known account written by an 'insider' in the small headquarters operation." 36 pages. |
