What sets this book apart from previous studies is it's exaustive coverage of which units received which carbines and specific details of how they performed in the hands of the troops. Learn exactly what the men in the field thought of these guns…often in their own words! Collectors and historians often wish they could make their guns 'speak', this is about as close as it gets. Carbines include, Ballard, Burnside, Cosmopolitan, Gallager, Gibbs, Hall, Joslyn, Lindner, Maynard, Merrill, Model 1847 Musketoon, Pistol Carbines, Starr, Smith, Sharps & Hankins, Sharps, Spencer, Warner, and Wesson. 8 1/2 X 11", hardcover, 256pp.
