Description: An in-depth look at the history and construction of campaign furniture during the Civil War, told through the lens of the frontier city of St. Louis. The book covers the history of the St. Louis armory and the firm Warne, Cheever, and Co. Includes step-by-step plans on constructing a replica 1861 ammunition crate, as well as an officer's campaign liquor chest.
Brief description: This book would not be possible without the efforts of my brother, Tim Koenig. Immense thanks are owed to the Missouri Historical Society as well for their efforts in helping me research and examine the original items by the Warne, Cheever & Co. operation.
