<p>Lavishly illustrated with seventy-four color plates and fifty 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.</p>

<p>From the Publisher\nDespite his dismissal from West Point in 1837, Marcellus A. Stovall pursued his childhood ambition for military glory. After attaining the rank of brigadier general in the Confederate army, Stovall led his brigade in battle from 1863 until the Confederate disaster at Nashville, Tennessee, in December 1864. From the ashes of defeat, Stovall rose to postwar prosperity. This book chronicles his life from his birth on the Georgia frontier through the Second Seminole War, the War Between the States, and the Reconstruction period.</p>
