THE CONFEDERATE LeMAT REVOLVER, by Doug Adams
Secret Weapon of the Confederacy?
The LeMat Revolver has always held a special place in the hearts
of Civil War enthusiasts. No other weapon is so emblematic of
the Confederacy. The LeMat wasn't just a revolver - in addition
to its bullets, it packed a unique last ditch wallop in the form
of a shotgun blast from under the barrel.
Begun as a partnership between Alexander LeMat,
a French inventor from New Orleans, and P.G.T. Beauregard, a
highly prominent Confederate officer, the LeMat revolver project
quickly because a tale of international intrigue and espionage
worthy of a spy novel. Operating from Southern port cities, European
capitals and Caribbean islands, LeMat and his associates gave
the Confederacy a "French Connection," not just to
supply revolvers, but to aid the Rebel cause through supplies,
financial shenanigans and propaganda.
This exciting new book describes LeMat's wartime
adventures aboard blockade runners and alongside the famous leaders
of the Confederacy, as well as exploring, as never before, the
unique revolvers that he manufactured for the Southern Cause.
