1845 SECRETARY OF WAR REPORT ON AMMUNITION –
SCARCE EARLY PRINTING – GOOD ARTILLERY AND DRAGOON
MATERIAL: An early Secretary of War Report
specifically addressing the amount and type of
ammunition on hand in the various armories and
arsenals. This five page original printing of the 1845
dated report to the 28th Congress was
apparently part of a larger bound volume, and while it
lacks any hard covers, the pages are bound together and
the document is intact.
In remarkably very good condition, the pages are all
present with little if any sign of wear and no damage
and all of the printing is legible. If your interests
focus on the pre-Civil War army, to include the
ammunition used during the Mexican War, I believe you
will find this edition both interesting and very
useful. These early reports simply do not show up on
the open market anymore and this one will make a
worthwhile addition to your library or display.
