I've got a hold of the book, and I must say that I am pleasantly surprised by the portion on equipment which I've read. I'm not all that informed on the whole phalanx debate, so I can't really speak to where the author stands on certain issues, but I could look specific things up if anyone would like.

He had with him the selfsame rifle you see with him now, all mounted in german silver and the name that he\'d give it set with silver wire under the checkpiece in latin: Et In Arcadia Ego. Common enough for a man to name his gun. His is the first and only ever I seen with an inscription from the classics. - Cormac McCarthy, Blood Meridian
