TL 12 Electronic Tool Set

[Timerover51]

Please post all 3.

Actually, there are more than just one Engineer tool sets for the World War 2 and 1950s period. What are you most interested in? Do you wish me to post a list of those that I have?

Indeed - I could use that Civil War blacksmith's wagon for Boot Hill games.

Based on your comment, BlackBat, I assume a very genuine interest.

Moderators, do I post them here or start a new thread?

Edit Note: The fastest way to get you the Civil War Blacksmith's forge wagon would be to download the 1861 Ordnance Manual from Cornell University. The link is here: https://archive.org/details/cu31924031187887

Information on the traveling forge starts on page 339, however, there is also information on tools for an artillery park earlier. Basically, this is a positive treasure trove of information.

Please post the list. I can use the Blacksmith set for D&D as I have a character who has skills as Blacksmith, Weaponsmith, and Armorsmth. And I use this as his wagon setup.

Limber, Battery wagon, and Forge.

That image is straight out of the 1861 Ordnance Manual.

 

[Kaeto]

Nope. I scanned it from 'Arms and Equipment of the Civil War' and spliced in the forge.

I have the Coggins book, Arms and Equipment of the Civil War. Jack took that directly from the 1861 Ordnance Manual. That is an extremely good book on Civil War equipment however, and the drawings are outstanding. Jack was an illustrator for the US Army during World War 2.

I read my copy so many times I wore it out and bought a new one.

I did the same thing. Presently negotiating with the Coggins Estate to get access to his drawings for a couple of books I am working on. You should check out his books on the Campaign for Guadalcanal, the Campaign for North Africa, his book on Fighting Men, and the one on Ships and Seamen of the American Revolution. The last is probably the finest factual work on how warfare worked in the Age of Sail.

 

[BlackBat242]

Thanks very much for the link - I downloaded it.

 

[Kaeto]

I just purchased the Ships and Seamen book. I am interested in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars because I had documented ancestors who fought in each.

If that is the case, then you should do some checking at the following website for more information.

https://archive.org/search.php?query=subject:"United+States+--+History+Civil+War,+1861-1865"

That picks up a massive amount of Civil War documents and histories that are online. By careful searching, you can also locate for download the complete set of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies and just about a complete set of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies. Lots of interesting reading in those documents.

Then Cornell University Digital Library has a complete set of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War available for download, in word-searchable and copy and paste format. Stay away from the Google scans, as they are not searchable or copy and paste. Some of them are not the best scans either.

It's worth noting that many of the Google scans are searchable and copy/paste-able in the web browser, but not in the download. Such as the 1870-something Army Regulations... The download PDF is the scans, with no OCR applied.

My Great,great,great grand father and his son were in the 139th Pennsylvainia Volunteer Infantry Company C. Another ancestor was in the Mississippi Marine Brigade Artillery. And another was in the 48th Tenn infantry.

I don't remember at the moment the unit that my ancestor was in during the Revolutionary War, but my mom who is the one doing the geneology says his unit was under direct command of George Washington. And her research has been solid enough to get her into the D.A.R.

Nothing quick to find on the 139th Pennsylvania, but here is one of them. I will keep an eye out for the infantry units. Was the 48th Tennessee a Union or a Confederate unit? My guess is Confederate, but there were Union units from Tennessee.

If there is any kind of fold-out map or set of drawing, those are not scanned, you just get bits and pieces letting you know that something should have been there.

48th Tenn was a Confederate unit.

The 139th Penn has the largest memorial at Gettysburg.

Thanks Rancke

Thanks Rancke

See new thread in Random Static regarding the 139th Pennsylvania Infantry.

Still looking for the 48th Tennessee.

 

[Kaeto]

There were two 48th Tenn units. Nixon's and Voorhees my ancestor was in both. Voorhees unit was formed from those who were not captured and put in a pow camp.

I knew there were two. Still working on it.
