There were three battlefield manuals available to US Civil War officers. These were the manuals designed for providing the fundamental information necessary to create a disciplined fighting force from armies that were for the most part untrained volunteers. These manuals were the work of generals Winfield Scott, William J. Hardee and Silas Casey. Of course the works on field fortifications by West Point's Dennis Mahan were also well known to West Point graduates. And advanced works by military theorists such as Henri Jomini and Carl von Clausewitz were known by a good number of officers but for the basic information required to train new troops the ones authored by the first mentioned three generals.
