1959réf. 8561bdWashington DC: The American Ordnance Association 1959. Tall octavo paperbound stiff navy blue stapled wrappers uncut 32 pp. From Foreword: The American Ordnance Association takes pride in presenting this precis the second in a series of monographs on the armament used in the American Civil War. The strategy and tactics of that conflict can be understood in their true light only when the capabilities and limitations of thefighting equipment are known. As far as ammunition is concerned the great complexity of the subject can only be appreciated by students of the many battels who try to identify some specimen offered for inspection. Practically all of the thousands of books that have been written about the American Civil War treat it from the Adjutant General’s point of view -- a concern with personnel -- or from the eminence of the strategist and tactician. Students and historians of the conflict have found no convenient source for official descriptions of the weapons their ammunition or performance.
