Our land we hold as our fathers held it from God's bounty and the might of our swords. When we have paid the three taxes of fort-building and bridge-building and field-service, we have paid all that we owe to the State."
"Can't tell exactly and it's a tough job to tackle with only a field-service dressing." "When was he hit?" continued the subaltern. "That's a mystery, sir," was the answer. "We'd brought the gun under cover there wasn't a chance of being hit by direct fire, you'll understand and the black seemed to crumple up suddenly. Never said a word, but just pitched on his face.
General Halleck having gone down to the Shiloh battle-field, I reported to his Assistant Adjutant-General, Colonel John C. Kelton, and told him of my anxiety to take a hand in active field-service, adding that I did not wish to join my regiment, which was still organizing and recruiting at Jefferson Barracks, for I felt confident I could be more useful elsewhere.

In 1862 the heaviest projectile shown did not exceed one hundred pounds. For field-service the limit of practice in weight seems long ago to have been reached: for forts and ships it cannot be far off.
In the earlier editions of this work I followed the example of other military writers, and called by the name of logistics the details of staff duties, which are the subject of regulations for field-service and of special instructions relating to the corps of quartermasters.
