520 1 $a"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." "As much a story of people as of machinery, Never for Want of Powder recounts the ingenuity of the individuals involved with the project. The volume also documents the coordinated outflow of gunpowder and ammunition and Col. George Washington Rain's difficulty in preparing for the defense of Augusta." "Today a lone chimney along the Savannah River stands as the only reminder of the munitions facility that once occupied that site. With its detailed reproductions of architectural and mechanical schematics and its expansive vista on the Confederacy, Never for Want of Powder restores the Augusta Powder Works to its rightful place in American lore."--BOOK JACKET.
