Heavy Artillery. Philip Katcher. Because of the length of the coastline of the U.S., American ordnance and engineers placed an emphasis on heavy artillery mounted in coastal defenses. The Union army organized its "Heavy Artillery" into separate regiments, while the Confederates did so only through informal association. This book details the development and usage of the big guns. 48 pgs., 40 B&W photos and illustrations, 7 color plates, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd.
