Did You Know ?.... Facts about the Civil War.
Did You Know?
......That the principal weapon of the war and the one by which 80 % of all wounds were produced was a single-shot, muzzle-loading rifle in the hands of infantry soldiers?
......That the muzzle loading rifle could be loaded at the rate of about three times a minute and that it's maximum range was about 1000 yards?
......Most infantry rifles were equipped with bayonets, but that very few men wounded by bayonet ever showed up at any of the field hospitals? The explanation may have been that opposing soldiers did not often actually come to grips and when they did, were prone to use their rifles as clubs.
......That 80% of all wounds were in the extremities?
