"In this book, [the authors] provide a fresh look at the incredible impact the English had on supplying the Confederacy and its effect on the U.S. Civil War ... Each piece of equipment [especially Enfield rifles and all their implements] is examined in great detail ... The book also looks at how this equipment was purchased, from where and by whom, and how it was shipped over to the Confederate States"--Jacket.

This book examines the history of civil war blockade running, revealing the arms, equipment, and clothing brought into the Confederacy during the American Civil War. From Savannah, Charleston, and Wilmington to Matamoros, Galveston, and Mobile, this reference lists all distribution—the Belgian-made woolen cloth and English rifles that arrived in the farthest reaches of the Trans-Mississippi and the receipt of thousands of British knapsacks, blankets, and cartridge boxes in the winter camps of the struggling Army of Tennessee. It shows the pervasiveness of imported war material as well as the effectiveness and sophistication of the Confederate supply system.
