<<For my own part, I could wish that more background material  regarding the
technical
aspects were given (but, I am the sort of geek who keeps  copies of Gibbon's
"Artillerist's Manual" and Benton's "Ordnance and Gunnery" on  his
shelves).>>

Bruce,

You look at artillery like I look at intelligence.  Can never get enough,
even though it is not everyone's cup of tea.  Since the participants did not
leave behind any significant writings on intel, I rely on Fishel's "The
Secret War for the Union" and Tidwell, Hall and Gaddy's "Come Retribution"
as my "manuals."
