(snip) As far as cannons are concerned you will find Silent Sentinels A  
reference guide to the artillery at Gettysburg By George W. Newton as about as  
informative concerning the arty at Gettysburg During the Battle and how it was  
collected recreated and refurbed to make the park as realistic as possible.

to learn about the arty at Gettysburg is to try to get Mr. Newton to do a 
Guided  tour about it since he is a GLBG.(snip)
