How to Hessian: Part One

Have you ever thought of trying out a Hessian impression but were intimidated by the language barrier? Or perhaps you are a longtime Mousquetier or Grenadier but haven't had a convenient way to reference the most important parts of a 688 page infantry regulation in the field? Well you are in luck!
 
"How to Hessian: Part One" takes all of the most critical parts of the 1767 Hessian Infanterie Reglement for the Gemeiner (privates) and presents them in a user friendly way for the modern reenactor. The oft translated Handgriffe, a procedure for parade exercise, has been broken down and rearranged according to the advice given in part 5, article IV " How the people can most easily learn the exercises, or how to bring a regiment or battalion into order without fatiguing people."  Additional information about the organization, rank structure, and vocabulary of the Hessian soldier comes from various sources such as the 1775 rank-list, 1783 officer cadet's training manual, and the treaty between Hessen-Kassel and England. 
 
Every heavy weight linen page is full of useful information, with the original German and English translations sitting side by side and over 50 period illustrations giving the reader full understanding of the movements and their commands.
