    Description

    ARMS AND EQUIPMENT OF THE CIVIL WAR
    by Jack Coggins
    *****
    Coggins's primer provides an illustrated overview of the weaponry used during the Civil War, from the rifles and side arms carried by soldiers to cannons and even entire naval vessels. There is also detailed info on uniforms, medical equipment, and more.
    Enhanced with marvelous illustrations, the text describes what material was available to the armies and navies of both sides---from iron-clad gunboats, submarine torpedoes, and military balloons to pontoon bridges, percussion grenades, and siege artillery---with on-the-scene comments by Union and Confederate soldiers about equipment and camp life.
