 The official issue weapons were a great disappointment to the men, however, as they were provided with "Greenwood Rifles"; cast off older muskets and rifles that had been reconditioned and rebored by Miles Greenwood & Co. of Cincinnati, Ohio.While the weapons were functional and would serve the men in battle, they felt they were unreliable and inaccurate.Because of this, the men sought to replace these weapons whenever an opportunity arose.
