"I cordially endorse it as being wonderfully comprehensive and comprehensible in covering the subject."
"I am impressed with its simplicity and completeness. It is a most valuable book for the noncommissioned officer and private."
"The book is thoroughly practical and the arrangement admirable. It is certainly the best book on the subject that I have ever seen."
A few extracts from numerous book reviews

The dozen chapters of the little book not only instruct the soldier thoroughly in the duties of reconnaissance but place at his convenient disposal a valuable store of information as to military messages, signaling, map reading, reconnaissance reports, first-aid and kindred subjects."
"It covers very concisely every feature of this most important branch of military training: it is entertainingly written and generously illustrated throughout."
