I know that there were few bayonet wounds in the ACW, but I am curious what the training with the bayonet was. I remember going through a stylized bayonet drill with the M-1 and the M-14, thrust, parry, vertical butt stroke, horizontal butt stroke. Was bayonet drill this formal in the 19th Century? Is there a primary source showing the manual of the bayonet?
