Krause publications has a relatively new book which I found to be very definitive:
"A Study of Colt Conversions and Other Percussion Revolvers" by R. Bruce McDowell.
Mr. McDowell discusses how Colt and others converted their (Un)Civil War cap 'n ball revolvers to take cartridges. A lot of those guns were apparently floating around well into the 1870s.
