| Summary |
"Artillery played an important and perhaps decisive role in the July 1863 battle of Gettysburg. Although many hundreds of books have been published on the battle, very few have focused more than a handful of paragraphs or a sprinkling of entries on the 'long arm' and its role in the battle. This gap is finally filled by George Newton's Silent sentinels : a reference guide to the artillery of Gettysburg. Newton's well written and illustrated study was designed to be of use to both the casual battlefield visitor and the serious Civil War scholar"--Jacket |
