Tracing the development of the Ordinance Wagon from its earliest days - its inception during the Mexican wars and its further development during the Civil War - this is an excellent source of information regarding the two major types of wagons used by the U. S. Army.

Wagons used and developed by the Quartermaster Department of the U.S. Army were perfected over many years and long miles on the western trail. The Six and Four-Horse or Mule Wagons, as well as the Army Escort Wagon, proved to be such an effective means of transporting supplies, that they saw extensive service well into the Twentieth Century. This exhaustive volume follows the wagon's development from the Revolutionary War through their use in the First World War. The dimensions, drawings, correct paint colors, and harness details that are included make this a valuable addition to the bookshelves of restorers and re-enactors alike.

Author Thomas Lindmier, noted Military and Western Historian, has spent 20 years researching his subject and has restored a number of these wagons for the National Park Service.
