An interesting study of the Confederate States Army Provost Guard. The book shows the Duties of the Confederate Provost. Covers things like how to stop stragglers, prisoners of war and provosts marshal's law. The discussion of the pass system and the restriction of rail road use are interesting.

Provost troops among other things help to stop straggling. during the war the Union developed an effective provost operation, but it took time. The Confederacy came to understand the need for proper provost operations, but often needed the men for other duties. The Confederate armies never completely solved the problem of excessive straggling. The Union armies had mixed success in preventing straggling.
