About This Item
College Station: Texas A & M University Press, 1994. 1st ed. thus. As New. octavo. stiff wrappers xiv + 349pp., bibliog., index, Gorgas is credited with creating, in the Confederacy's ordnance department, "success beyond expectation." With the South having far less capacity to produce arms than the North and with communications from the field severely hampered throughout the war, the former West Pointer nevertheless was responsible for the fact that, as some have argued, the South kept the war alive as long as it did.
