A friend of mine sent this link. It is a book found in his Grandfather's estate and they are selling it on eBay.

The emblem at the top of the book is the official seal of the Army Corps of Engineers. (The castle is the insignia, not the seal.) I have a small Corps seal (in cloissone) that I use as a tie tack on occasion; most people have no idea what it represents.
When you closely examine the seal, you will find a small shield with stripes and stars and the letters "T.E." in Old English. That stands for the original group:
THE TOPOGRAPHIC ENGINEERS
That's the revolutionary war engineers that helped win our independence. They later changed it over to the Civil Engineers ...
