"When America went to war with itself in 1861, it would send nearly three million of its sons into the armies before the fighting was done.  In the hands of these men North and South placed some of the most advanced weapons yet developed, and others that were almost as old as history.  Swords and sabers, bayonets, knives, even pikes and lances, went into action alongside muskets, muzzle-loaders, newer breechloaders, and pistols of every description.  Cannon that could fire farther than the eye could see to aim were put in the field, while underground and above it new, terrible "infernal machines" brought a new dimension of horror to warfare.  The story of those weapons is a tale of the bravery of the men who used, and faced them.
