Description
The English Cartridge Pattern 1853 Rifle-Musket Ammunition The development of the Enfield rifle-musket's ammunition was a pivotal moment in its history, with the Minié bullet's introduction in France marking a significant turning point. This book explores the history of the muzzleloading cartridge used in the Enfield rifle, tracing its evolution from 1853 to 1864. Brett Gibbons examines the role of the Enfield "greased cartridge" in the Indian Rebellion of 1857-1858 and the Confederate States' attempt to adopt the Enfield cartridge for the Southern armies in the American Civil War. Over 60 illustrations accompany the book, providing a detailed and visual account of the Enfield cartridge's development. From the sweltering heat of Central India to the trenches of Petersburg, Gibbons ties together the fascinating history of Enfield rifle-musket ammunition, shedding light on a crucial aspect of military history.
