Never for want of powder : the Confederate Powder Works in Augusta, Georgia
"Illustrated with seventy-five color plates and fifty-four black-and-white photographs and drawings, Never for Want of Powder tells the story of a world-class munitions factory constructed by the Confederacy in 1861, the only large-scale permanent building project undertaken by a government often characterized as lacking modern industrial values. In this comprehensive examination of the Powder Works, five scholars - a historian, physicist, curator, architectural historian, and biographer - bring their combined expertise to the task of chronicling gunpowder production during the Civil War. In doing so, they make a major contribution to understanding the history of wartime technology and Confederate ingenuity."
