With the start of any history book there is research, and much of what comprises new books on any subject, is derived from the works of previous authors, historians, and scholars. This is true for Guns of the Civil War. While the photography is new, the story has been told time and again over the last 150 years. But each telling is often different; history is a matter of opinions. Sometimes there are different interpretations of events at the time they occurred depending upon which side the authors of various historic documentations may have fought, or where their sentiments laid; new material can be uncovered through comprehensive research of original records, and there are occasional discoveries and revelations through the uncovering of letters and papers from the era. All of this has contributed to the countless volumes written about the Civil War, and it is not the intention of this book to reinterpret history or become a revisionist tale of the events which unfolded prior to or during the War Between the States, but rather to look more closely at the different handguns and longarms which figured so prominently in the bloodiest war in our nations history.
