Hugh Forbes
Researching 19th Century manuals that address street fighting and I've been diving in to my copy of Manual for the Patriotic Volunteer on Active Service by Hugh Forbes. What little I've found indicates that he was an English soldier who later became acquainted with John Brown in the US before the Civil War - and may have even attempted to shop Brown to the authorities or blackmail his backers. Anyone able to direct me to more information about this fellow?
