The various Civil War era firearms produced under the patents of
Edward Lindner encompass some of the rarest of American breech
loading arms. These include muzzle loading rifles and carbines
converted to his breech loader design as well as altered Hall
Patent rifles and new made carbines. There has been a scarcity of
correct information about their history and use. This book provides
collectors and arms historians with a more complete and correct
historical record of the manufacture and issue to combat troops of
both new made carbines as well as conversions of obsolete rifles
and carbines to Lindner's breech loading system. Using countries
included not only the U.S. but also Argentina, Brazil and France.
The book consists of 116 pages, 45 black & white illustrations
and full color covers. "Ed Hull is a meticulous researcher with an
amazing ability to ferret out long-forgotten documentation. His new
work on the Lindner Carbines provides new and important information
on these extremely scarce breech-loaders of the American Civil
War." Joe Poyer, author of THE AMERICAN KRAG RIFLE AND CARBINE and
THE .45-70 SPRINGFIELD ..".a valuable reference for students and
collectorsof American military shoulder arms, especially those who
focus on the percussion breech loading arms used during the Civil
War." George D. Moller, author of the multi-volume AMERICAN
MILITARY SHOULDER ARMS
