Breech-Loaders Versus Muzzle-Loaders Or How to Strengthen Our Army and Crush the Rebellion With a Saving of Life and Treasure

Breech-Loaders Versus Muzzle-Loaders is an important historical work on the development of firearms in the 19th century. Written by William Castle Dodge in 1862, this book argues in favor of the use of breech-loading firearms over muzzle-loading firearms, which were the standard at the time. Dodge believes that the use of breech-loaders will lead to a more effective and efficient military, which will save both lives and money.
