Harpers Ferry Armory
Harpers Ferry Armory, more formally known as the United States Armory and Arsenal at Harpers Ferry, was the second federal armory commissioned by the United States government. It was located in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia (then part of Virginia), while the first federal armory was the Springfield Armory located in Springfield, Massachusetts. In many books the town is called “Harper’s Ferry” with an apostrophe.〔For example, Horace Greeley, ''The American Conflict: A History of the Great Rebellion in the United States of America, 1860-64. Volume: 1.'' (1866), p. 279; French Ensor Chadwick, ''Causes of the Civil War, 1859-1861'' (1906) p. 74; James M. McPherson, ''Battle Cry of Freedom: The Civil War Era'' (1988), p. 201; Stephen W. Sears, ''Landscape Turned Red: The Battle of Antietam'' (2003) p. 116.〕
