About This Book
Overview

This long-awaited new book explores the official purchase and issuance of pinfire revolvers and ammunition to both Union and Confederate units during the Civil War. Their use by Rebel cavlary legends Jeb Stuart and Stonewall Jackson, as well as by many of their Yankee counterparts, is documented as well. Also included is the full story of the pinfire system: its development by French arms inventor Casimir Lefaucheux and refinement by his son Eugene, the personalities, patents, markings, military adoptions both in the U.S. and abroad, pinfire cartridges, headstamps–and much, much more.
