Coco sets forth the organization of artillery in both armies and offers a concise narrative about the role played by the artillery of each corps in the battle. This study also includes detailed maps for each day’s action, a chart with the numbers of each type of gun in each army, and an order of battle listing the types of guns, units, strengths, and casualties in each battery. A wonderful handbook for reading in the easy chair or taking with you onto the battlefield, perfect for the veteran campaigner and new readers alike.
