Excerpt from Principles of Military Training, Vol. 3
The fight between Cain and Abel was the broth of war, the control of land whether by the practical agriculturist or the peripatetic sheepman, the first and a continuing cause of war, while the chronicles of the Old Testament make the Bible the first of military works and the only one known to most of the early colonists and conquerors of America. There was the comforting and convenient authority for possessing the land and smiting their enemies hip and thigh.
It must be of interest to follow military habits from the early days of our country, when self-defense was that of the individual and his nearest neighbors, to these days of the Great War, and the training of whole nations on the right lines of progressive systems, in vivid contrast to the old routine circle of the professional soldier in the barrack yard.
