| Description: |
Field artillery played a massive part in the prosecution of the American Civil War on both sides. This book details the war artillery looking at a range and power of weaponry which provided huge advantages in arsenal to battles throughout the States. |
| Synopsis: |
Perhaps the most influential arm of either army in the prosecution of the American Civil War, the artillery of both sides grew to be highly professional organizations, centralizing their artillery, organizing artillery battalions from individual batteries and giving their commanders higher ranks than field artillerymen had previously held. In battle, the introduction of the 12-pdr. Napoieon, followed closely by rifled cannon, provided a range and power previously unknown on American soil. This book details this vital cog in the war-machine of both sides. |
