US ARMY MANUAL FOR STABLE SERGEANTS, 1917:
Prepared at the Mounted Service School at Ft. Riley,
Kansas, this comprehensive manual addresses, in detail,
all of the concerns of caring for and managing a unit’s
horses. The text covers anatomy, behavior issues,
nourishment, hygiene, disease diagnosis and control,
first aid, and many other subjects too numerous to
list. The text is augmented with 58 illustrations and
photographs, many of them in full color.
This particular copy is ink stamped in several places
throughout the manual as having been in the inventory of
the 5TH Supply Train. Printed by the
Washington Printing Office, 1917, this original 219 page
hard bound, cloth covered manual is in very good
condition, with only a minimal amount of wear to the
lower outside corners of the first 36 pages, however
there is no loss of the text. The covers are solid and
still well bound, with only minor shelf wear.
Not a commonly encountered manual, this volume is a very
impressive body of instruction and it is an interesting
manual to add to your WWI, Cavalry, or Veterinary
Medicine collection. (0912) $125
