Ride with the Devil
Ride with the Devil is a 1999 American Civil War drama directed by Ang Lee and stars Tobey Maguire, Skeet Ulrich, Jewel, Jeffrey Wright, Simon Baker, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and James Caviezel. The film was based on the novel Woe to Live On and depicts the border wars between the Kansas Jayhawks and Missouri Bushwhackers during the conflict.
The following weapons were used in the film Ride with the Devil:
Remington Model 1858 New Army (Brass Frame)
The brass-framed Remington Model 1858 is used by several Confederates including Jake Roedel (Tobey Maguire). These brass-frame "Remingtons" are inaccurate reproductions by Pietta of Italy that did not exist in the 19th Century, and are therefore anachronistic. It is possible, however, that they are being used as stand-ins for the Spiller & Burr, which was a Confederate copy of the Whitney revolver (and is also often mistaken for a Confederate copy of the Remington by novices) but that ideal is unlikely, as Pietta also makes a reproduction of the Spiller & Burr, which makes using these Remingtons as stand-ins pointless.
Remington 1858 New Army
The Remington 1858 New Army is seen in the hands of both Union Cavalry officers and various Confederates.
Another revolver seen used by Confederate forces is the Colt 1851 Navy, notably carried by Pitt Mackeson (Jonathan Rhys Meyers).
Springfield 1861
The Springfield Model 1861 was the primary shoulder arm during the Civil War.
Sharps 1863 Cavalry Carbine
Several Confederates are seen armed with Sharps 1863 Cavalry Carbines in the film.
Henry 1860
Jake is also seen holding a Henry 1860.
