ARTILLERY

In which we cover the third Civil War combat arm: the artillery.

Our book recommendation for this episode is Civil War Artillery at Gettysburg: Organization, Equipment, Ammunition, and Operations by Philip M. Cole

“No other book on Civil War artillery… is as detailed… as this book is generally… The author’s broad approach to the whole subject of artillery tactics shine when he compares and contrasts several artillery incidents at Gettysburg that better explain what was on going on at the time… This book is essential for all those interested in Civil War artillery, 19th century artillery, or just the battle of Gettysburg.” ~ Peter A. Frandsen, The Artilleryman
