Cook carbine
|
This .58 caliber carbine was manufactured by the
firm of Cook and Brother of Athens, Georgia, and
is dated 1864. The Cook firm produced exceptionally
well-made weapons patterned after English Enfield
types. From 1861 to 1862 the firm was located at
New Orleans, Louisiana, but was forced to leave
with the approach of Northern troops. In 1863 the
firm settled in Athens, Georgia, where it continued
to manufacture firearms. |
