Octavo, orange cloth (hardcover), 95 pp. Fine in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: The distinctively shaped, yet deadly, carbines invented by Ambrose Burnside are today recognized and popular mementos of the American Civil War. They were no less popular during that conflict -- being, as they were, one of the best breech loading arms available to the average cavalryman. Yet despite the fact that over 55,000 Burnside carbines were produced by the company founded by the noted inventory/soldier/statesman, their period of manufacture was both complicated and short-lived -- five models over barely a decade. In these pages author Edwar A. Hull provides an illustrated model-by-model historical/technical examination of the Burnside carbines; a study based upon significant and largely heretofore unpublished research. Civil War, Nonfiction, War Between the States, War of Rebellion, Union, United States History, American History, Military History, Confederacy, War of Northern Aggression, Guns, Weapons, Firearms, American Manufacturing. tslic.
