In the third of a four-volume series, Whisker, who is not identified, notes that when the Civil War broke out, neither side was prepared to arm its troops with either adequate stories or manufacturing capacity. He also points out that, by and large the Confederacy bought better arms than the Union, partly because its finance was better organized, partly because it mattered more, and partly because it had savvier agents abroad. Initial chapters look at Union use of imported arms and Confederate blockade running, buying arms, and the imported arms themselves. Then the major arms exporters are delineated, and some major deals detailed. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

The Report of the Secretary of War on 10 June 1848 showed that on 30 June 1847 the United States possessed 707, 011 small arms, of which 586, 513 had been made at the Harper's Ferry and Springfield national armories; 118, 113 had been made by private armories and contractors; and only 2365 had been imported. All foreign made arms were classified as fourth-class arms, but within just twenty years, were to become more important than at any time since the First War for Independence.
