This book is primarily a reference for the most famous revolver
manufactured by Eli Whitney, Jr. during the late-1850s and
throughout the American Civil War. The Whitney Navy Revolver
documents the results of a two-year research project and provides
clear and current information on the various models and types. A
thorough description along with photographs of each model and type
of Whitney Navy revolver is found in this book. In addition to
serving as a reference work, this book provides a brief history of
the firearms development and marketing efforts of Eli Whitney, Jr.
along with extensive information on the use of his revolvers by
both the North and South during the Civil War. Photographs of Union
and Confederate soldiers with Whitney revolvers are included, along
with a photograph of the Whitney revolver used by Confederate
cavalry commander, General JEB Stuart. Much additional information
is found in this book, including photographs of engraved revolvers,
cartridge conversion models, and other revolvers that were copies
of the Whitney Navy revolver. This book is a must for collectors
and students of historical firearms.
