Description

Within the heady days of the push to arms in 1861, comparatively few Southern men volunteered for service Within the artillery: most preferred the easily accessible glory of the infantry or cavalry. Yet those who did, quickly earned the respect in their fellow soldiers, and a reputation for with the ability to “pull through deeper mud, ford deeper springs, shoot faster, swear louder … than every other class of men Within the service” all over the American Civil War (1861-1865). For the reason that field artillery was once invariably deployed in front of the troops that it was once supporting, the artillerymen were exposed to a high level of enemy fire, and losses were significant. This title guides the reader throughout the life and experiences of the Confederate cannoneer – where he came from; how he trained and lived; how he dressed, ate and was once equipped; and how he fought.
