The U.S.N.L.P. Handbook
for Civil War Navy Reenactors
(4th edition)
The fourth edition of the USNLP Handbook -- 300 pages in length! -- is now available. Following is the table of contents from the Handbook, with indications of new and updated sections. The previous section on cutlass drill has been replaced by the complete 1869 manual; the sutlers' listing of naval equipment/uniforms has been updated to the present; charts of rank insignia for USN, CSN, USMC, and CSMC have been added; and an exhaustive documents collection of 45 pages is now included (forms for enlistment, discharge, pay receipts, muster sheets, deck logs, etc.)
Our previous price of $15 for the 200pp third edition Handbook must, unfortunately, go up to $18--not a bad deal considering the fourth edition Handbook is 50% larger. Shipping for the extra weight of paper and the hardcover binder adds $5 for a total cost of $23. You can order a Handbook either by sending a check (made out to "USNLP") to the address below or via PayPal; be aware that ordering through PayPal increases the price to $24.50 account for their service charge.
