Ranging from fairly easy to moderately difficult; this woodworking manual furnishes accurate reproductions of Civil War-era objects. Historical information about manufacturing and woodworking in the 19th century complements a discussion on standards; offering interested craftspeople all the relevant information to produce authentic replicas in the modern shop. Step-by-step instructions present a variety of projects--such as an officer's field desk; an ammunition box; a folding camp table; a lantern; and a camp chest--and a detailed history accompanies each item. With period photographs of the original items as well as modern images of re-enactors using the reproductions; this reference will appeal to both the woodworker and history buff.

But I contacted the publisher and they sent me a link to a downloadable file on their website. Really great photos for anyone interested in Iranian history. I was particularly surprised to see and loved the photograph of Cyrus Leroy Baldridge; who was part of this expedition and once said that Santa Fe and New Mexico reminded him of Persia.
