Title
Locating New Charleville Muskets, Etc.
Description
An examination of the small arms in the arsenal at West Point demonstrates that there are no new Charleville muskets on hand. All such muskets have been used and repaired so none are fit to be patterns. In 1793, in response to an order by General Knox, Fleming sent 1000 new Charlevile arms to Albany. Mr. Cranch says that he saw about 5000 new Charleville arms at the Springfield arsenal.
