GDG- Artillery

[John Baniszewski]

Anyway, I'm really interested in knowing a lot more about 
how artillery could affect the battles, given the state of 
the weapons at the time. It is very difficult to vizualize 
what it was like, when you stand there now, not knowing 
exactly what these weapons were capable of. Do you know of 
any way that I can get more educated about this aspect 
of the battle, other than reading your book ? Which I 
intend to do.

Ed - For the past few years, on one weekend in the summer, 
there has been a reenactor group that gives a demonstration
with a full 4-gun battery of artillery.  They even
maneuver all the guns into place with horses.  It is
a very impressive demo.  It really illustrates the skill
involved in handling artillery.  Unfortunately, I do not 
know the name of the unit.  You could probably contact the 
park and find out who they are and when they will be there.
They are Confederates.  That would be a good weekend 
to visit the Burg.
