Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The various Civil War era firearms produced under the patents of Edward Lindner encompass some of the rarest of American breech loading arms. These include muzzle loading rifles and carbines converted to his breech loader design as well as altered Hall Patent rifles and new made carbines. There has been a scarcity of correct information about their history and use. This book provides collectors and arms historians with a more complete and correct historical record of the manufacture and issue to combat troops of both new made carbines as well as conversions of obsolete rifles and carbines to Lindner's breech loading system. Using countries included not only the U.S. but also Argentina, Brazil and France.The book consists of 116 pages, 45 black & white illustrations and full color covers. "...cast(s) far more light on Lindner's production than has ever been published before...this study will prove to be an indispensable reference and, therefore, it is highly recommended."Herbert G. Houze, book review in MAN-AT-ARMS MAGAZINE; August, 2014.“Ed Hull is a meticulous researcher with an amazing ability to ferret out long-forgotten documentation. His new work on the Lindner Carbines provides new and important information on these extremely scarce breech-loaders of the American Civil War.”Joe Poyer, author of THE AMERICAN KRAG RIFLE AND CARBINE and THE .45-70 SPRINGFIELD.“...a valuable reference for students and collectors of American military shoulder arms, especially those who focus on the percussion breech loading arms used during the Civil War.”George D. Moller, author of the multi-volume AMERICAN MILITARY SHOULDER ARMS."...of great interest to the U.S. Military arms collector as well as those interested in the Civil War and the arms used to fight it.Frank Graves, book review in ARMS HERITAGE MAGAZINE; June, 2014.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the outset of the American Civil War, the Union Army's sharpshooters were initially equipped with the M1855 Colt revolving rifle, but it was prone to malfunction. Instead, the North's sharpshooters preferred the Sharps rifle, an innovative breech-loading weapon capable of firing up to ten shots per minute – more than three times the rate of fire offered by the standard-issue Springfield .58-caliber rifled musket. Other Union sharpshooters were equipped with the standard-issue Springfield rifled musket or the .56-56-caliber Spencer Repeating Rifle. Conversely, the Confederacy favoured the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifled musket for its sharpshooters and also imported from Britain the Whitworth Rifle, a .45-caliber, single-shot, muzzle-loading weapon distinguished by its use of a twisted hexagonal barrel. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, this is the engrossing story of the innovative rifles that saw combat in the hands of sharpshooters on both sides during the Civil War.

Book excerpt: Ambrose Everett Burnside made his mark in history as a famous battlefield commander during the American Civil War. Today, collectors of antique firearms better remember him for the handy cavalry carbine that he invented and had manufactured, a carbine that played a large part in arming Federal cavalrymen during that war. Getting the first 300 of those carbines fabricated drove Burnside into bankruptcy in 1857, and he then changed careers. The demand for good arms with the coming of the war quickly changed penury to profit: nearly 59,000 of the carbines of his design were ultimately produced, garnering over $2 million dollars for the two companies which made them. This book is the story of the design and production of the five different variations of the Burnside carbine, and the cartridges, tools and accouterments furnished with them. "Noted arms historian Ed Hull has produced his latest 'Collector's Guide to Firearms, ' and it is a most compelling and complete study of Civil War era Burnside Carbines and Rifles. This author has studied these unique breechloading firearms for many decades now, and this 173-page book covers all prototypes and production models, related Burnside ammunition and associated accoutrements. Students and collectors of Civil War weaponry will appreciate how complete and reliable this work is." Roy Marcot, author of "Spencer repeating Firearms" "Once again, longtime firearms student and writer Edward Hull has written a fine book that expands upon the one he originally wrote in 1986 on the same subject...It would make for a wonderful addition to the library of the arms collector...." Frank Graves, ARMS HERITAGE MAGAZINE

Book excerpt: Herein, for the first time, is revealed the impact and scope of the basic repeating rifle in the Civil War. Well documented, and supported by exciting on-the-spot reports, the author presents convincing evidence that the Spencer seven-shooter was a major factor—possibly the major factor in winding up the war which cost far more American lives than World War II. Christopher Spencer, the inventor and manufacturer, personally demonstrated the arm to President Lincoln on the White House lawn. Lincoln himself did considerable shooting with it, and he was so impressed by the performance of the seven-shooter that he directed procurement by the Ordnance Department. Lee is shown losing at Gettysburg, largely through the multiple-firepower of some 3,500 seven-shooters in the hands of the reorganized Federal cavalry. Seven Spencer-armed regiments are described as blasting a path for Grant out of the Wilderness, and a handful of seven-shooting regiments win Cold Harbor for him in a five-minute charge. Much of Sheridan’s glory in the Shenandoah Valley and Appomattox campaigns is herein transferred to Spencer’s gun and the men who fought with it in the front lines. Sherman, herein the hero of Atlanta and villain of the march to the sea, is taken to task for his inadequate use of the precious gift from the gods of war. The obscure Wilson is brought into the limelight for doing more damage with Sherman’s seven-shooting cavalry in two weeks than Sherman accomplished in four months. Withal, this is compact, hard-hitting, easy-to-read history of the five main Union campaigns of 1864 and 1865, well-seasoned with the incidents of soldier life which lend a quaint flavor to a fascinating phase of American history.
