Firepower from Abroad – The Confederate Enfield and the Lemat Revolver – Sword Wiley
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weapons reached the Confederate market-a story rich in international intrigue, documented with a large body of hitherto unpublished information on the subject. As a bonus, information regarding a variety of other Confederate small arms is presented within the appendices. Illustrated. 7×9.5in.
