Re: Federal use of captured equipment?
In another thread here, someone mentioned that from US Grant's memoirs, he stated that after a certain battle, Vicksburg I believe, he issued the captured Confederate enfields to his troops and turned in their old arms to supply in place of the captured weapons. I don't have a copy of Grant's memoirs but maybe someone can validate what my memory is telling me.
