No other weapon of the American Civil War is as closely associated with the Confederacy as the revolver of the French inventor Alexandre LeMat. The special feature of this weapon was its second barrel, with the help of which a shot charge could be fired at the enemy. This publication describes not only the development and technology of this extraordinary weapon, but also the adventurous war experiences of its inventor, who had close contact with Confederate personalities such as Pierre G. T. Beauregard and supported the Confederacy with supplies and propaganda.
