#BookweightCat is super excited that we're done cataloging a run of editions of Baron von Steuben's Regulations for the Order and Discipline of the Troops of the United States (the Sarah Vowell's new book Lafayette in the Somewhat United States gave us a better appreciation of his work). So, we're sharing part of a frontispiece to the Regulations that demonstrates the manual exercise. Bookweight Cat isn't sure about the part that shows shooting the person next to you. Doesn't really seem fair to the dude getting shot... #baronvonsteuben #seemedlikeagoodidea #questionablelocation
