(Mewnineynma Namiesin) — HUSt elas ALCOgMAe This book source was very useful in describing the necessary. changes that needed to be made in the Confederate battle tactics. This book introduced the idea of dragoons, or military horsemen. “{Cooke} suggested that the attackers trot to within 200 paces of the enemy line then gallop “with increasing speed” and charge when 50 to 60 yards of the enemy's line.” This will be useful in describing what the opposing sides of the Civil war used to win certain battles.
