Title A Battalion of Skills
Issue Volume 01, Number 04 (T&T, Autumn 2016)
Description Laborers whose trades helped the military, called artificers, had to handle any leather goods project the Colonial army needed in its fight for independence. The supply system was "messy" so the Quartermaster Department in 1775 struggled to establish regulations on the transportation of goods.
