Prior to secession, the State of Mississippi purchased as many as eight hundred 1st model Maynard carbines from the Massachusetts Arms Company, Chicopee Falls, Mass. The only reference I can locate for any Mississippi company equipped with these firearms was the "Noxubee Cavalry", later part of Miller's Mississippi Cavalry Battalion.
Does anyone know of others?
