The Civil War Weapons Catalog is a comprehensive guide to the evolution of weapons during one of America's most pivotal conflicts.

With over three million soldiers fighting in the war, this book provides an in-depth look at the design and development of weapons used by both the Union army and Confederate forces.

The well-equipped Union army had access to the best manufacturing output from the industrial North, while the South relied on imported arms and locally made copies of patented weapons.

Despite these limitations, the pressure of war led to improvements in both sides' firearms, with single-shot horse pistols giving way to multi-shot revolvers.

The book features poignant archive photography and evocative paintings by renowned Civil War artist Don Troiani, bringing the battlefield action to life.

Whether you're a history buff or simply interested in military technology, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the weapons used during the Civil War.
