Sunday January 19 – Principles of Civil War ArtilleryTom Holbrook, Gettysburg National Military Park
Jennings Cropper Wise, in his authoritative work on Confederate artillery in Robert E. Lee’s Army of Northern Virginia, referred to this branch of service as “The Long Arm of Lee.” Some of war’s most dramatic moments, Malvern Hill, Fredericksburg, and Gettysburg, are remembered for the devastating use of these guns. Yet, the role that field artillery played in the American Civil War is often underestimated by modern historians. This program will discuss the principles relating to the art of field artillery as put forth by famed artillerists Henry Hunt, William Barry, and John Gibbon.
Lectures will be held Saturdays and Sundays at 1:30 p.m.
