It contains information about dress, diet, cleanliness, encampments, and exercise. 8 pages, stitched binding. Even though this pamphlet was written over 200 years ago, many of these suggestions are suprisingly modern. Of course, others are frightening.

I have a question I need labels for a 1859 Sharps it is a 54 caliber . I notice your labels say 52/100 caliber am I missing somthing
Hello,
The Sharps labels are copies of the labels found in Echoes of Glory, Arms and Equipment of the Union page 46. Since I print all my labels, I can put 54 on there if you wish. Just mention it in the comments when you order the labels. Thanks for asking. Bob
John,
The Sharps rifles at the time were 52 caliber. The modern reproductions are 54 to match modern made ammo.
very interesting
