First published in 1775, this pamphlet by Revolutionary War officer Timothy Pickering lays out a practical plan for organizing and training a citizen militia. Drawing on his own experience as a military man and a leader of the Massachusetts militia, Pickering offers clear instructions on drills, maneuvers, and discipline that are still relevant today. This new edition includes an introduction by a noted military historian and offers insights into the role of militias in American history.
