Professional Papers, No. 29 Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, Third (Revised) Edition. Engineer Field Manual Parts I-VI

Abstract

In April, 1899, the Chief of Engineers directed the Commandant of the Engineer School to enter upon the preparation of an Engineer Field Manual. At the same time all officers of the Engineer Corps who had been in the field during the Spanish war were invited to contribute data and suggestions, and many of them did1 so. At the Engineer School the work of compilation was committed to the instructor in civil engineering, then Capt. Henry Jervey, and under his control, and mostly by his own hand, a general plan of a manual was worked out, manuscript and plates prepared on the subjects of reconnaissance and bridges, and more or less complete notes on roads and railroads.
