SPECIAL SALE PRICE ON THIS AUCTION LISTING!10% OFF the Retail Price!FIREPOWER FROM ABROAD The Confederate Enfield and the LeMat Revolver with new data on a variety of Confederate small arms by Wiley Sword **** Provides an in-depth history of two of the most highly regarded firearms during the War Between the States. A MUST-HAVE for your Civil War, black powder, musket, or muzzle-loading library! "The efficiency and long range of our Enfield rifles has been fully proved in this affair, and I am pleased to state they have verified our fullest expectations. Their superior accuracy and length of range over those of the enemy account in part for the small number of casualties on our side."---Col. John W. Geary; 28th Pennsylvania Infantry, of the skirmish near Antietam Ford, Maryland; Sept. 15, 1861 The British-made Enfield rifle was so valued by the South during the American Civil War that blockade runners cargoed shipments of these arms right up to the last days of the great rebellion. Another weapon with strong romantic and historical attachments to the South was the technically remarkable LeMat revolver. Carefully chronicled on these pages by author Wiley Sword is the story of how these weapons reached the Confederate market---a story rich in international intrigue, documented with a large body of little-known information on the subject. As a bonus, information regarding a variety of other Confederate small arms is presented within the appendices.
