New book on Confederate Ammuntion

[ms3635v]

For those of you who are familiar with Dean Thomas' series, "Round Ball to Rimfire", you will be pleased to know that he has recently released the fourth book in the series, "A Contribution to the History of the Confederate Ordnance Bureau." Dean has done a superb job researching Confederate ammuniton and the Confederate Ordnance department. This book is an excellent companion to his previous three volumes on the topic of Civil War ammuntion. This hardcover book is thoroughly researched and contains information not previously printed and gives the reader an extensive understanding of munitions in the South during the war. The research is also accompanied by excellent photographs of bullets, cartridges and the machinary used to produce the ammuntion. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy, you won't be disappointed. You can order a copy directly from Thomas Publications website.
