"The Drill Network" is a site that has many manuals online for those who haven't been able to purchase them. This is a great site to use if you want to cross-reference two manuals or brush up items out of a book you don't own. Warning: The site has constant music in the background and you may want to turn down your speakers before clicking this link.

http://www.usregulars.com/ The US Regulars site is another great site to go for manuals online that you might not have purchased yet. Especially interesting on there is the "Scotts Tactics" under the Mexican War Section. This was used by some units as West Point officers of the Mexican War knew this manual. Currently, only the first volume is reprinted. Thanks to the 7th MI for reminding us of this site!
