4.0 out of 5 stars Long on detail, short on analysis., October 2, 1999

This review is from: Double Canister at Ten Yards (Paperback)

I bought this book in order to learn more about the Union artillery at Gettysburg, and I wasn't disappointed. Shultz describes in minute detail the deployment and action of all the guns engaged, and I was left with a feeling of being on the frontline myself. Unfortunately, where this book falls down is in lack of commentary on the action. The reader is to a large extent left to form his own opinions, which is fair enough up to a point, but for me, this went too far. However, this is still a fascinating book for Civil War enthusiasts, and it certainly brought home for me the realities of artillery deployment in the Civil War.

This book provides an excellent insight into the artillery fight during that phase of Gettysburg best known as "Pickett's Charge." It answers some lingering questions concerning the final phases of that engagement.
