The Confederate "Morse" carbine is one of the rarest long guns of the American Civil War and also the first American firearm with centrefire ammunition. This work is the first accurate technical study of the Morse carbine, including accurate data on production figures and manufacturing dates, as well as a detailed history of the weapon and a close look at its operation.
Produced in South Carolina, the book also details the distribution of the weapon in the various units from the Confederate state of South Carolina.
