In Response To: 8th Missouri Cavalry (US) ()

According to Coates and Thomas' "An Introduction to Civil War Small Arms" the 8th MO Cav was equipped with Cosmopolitan carbines at some point during the war. The statement in the work about the listings provide is as follows: "In general, the lists represent the 1864-64 time period. Because many regiments exchanged small arms at least once during the war, the listings may not be valid for the entire length of service of all regiments. This is particularly true of Union cavalry regiments, many of whom were issued Spencer carbines near the end of the war."
