A rare war-date infantry tactics manual owned by 2nd Lieut. Timothy McNeff, Co. H, 10th Ohio Vols. being Vol. 2, Casey's Infantry Tactics, (School of The Battalion), by Brig. Gen. Silas Casey, 279pp., published by D. Van Nostrand, New York, 1862. Inscribed on inside cover, in period ink, in full: "Timothy D. McNeff, Lieut. Co. H, 10th Regt. O. V. I." and the facing page bears the presentation, in full: "Presented to Timothy D. McNeff, This 29th day of Sept. 1862 at Louisville, Kentucky." In just over a week McNeff's regiment would be slaughtered at Perryville, but thankfully he survived the battle and the war, but not after fighting at Stone River, Chickamauga and while advancing on Atlanta. Expected wear with the spine cover missing, else VG.
