In hopes of impeding a young United States, the British supplied the Confederacy with arms and equipment. This book - along with Volume I - will be the definitive reference on British arms and accoutrements in Confederate service, containing full and detailed histories of newly discovered imported arms and equipment, plus lost historical details of the companies and individuals that manufactured them, including: Robert Mole & Co, Eley Bros, Francis Preston, and Arthur Warner. There are brand new sections and photographs of knapsacks, waist belts - plus all the different types of snake buckles - cap pouches, 50 round pouches, ball bags, frogs, oil bottles, sabre bayonets for the P53 Enfield, bayonet scabbards, down to snap caps and tompions. It has brand new unpublished histories on gun makers like C.W. James, Hackett, Pryse and Redman, R & W Aston, R.T. Pritchett, King & Phillips, and London Armoury Co.
At the beginning of the war, the Confederacy had an overwhelming need to supply their armies with uniforms, arms and field equipment. Suppliers to the Confederacy II tells the story of the two men who gambled on the new nation and assured that the Confederate armies remained in the field until the end. With research based on original invoices from the McRae Papers and other extensive archives and new photographs of the surviving uniforms and buttons provided by Tait, Suppliers to the Confederacy II is a complete look at the lives of the men who supplied the Confederacy with the means to fight for their independence.
