Book excerpt: A Rediscovered History That Will Become Essential Reading for Civil War Studies The Artillery Service in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-65, is a comprehensive overview and analysis of the U.S. Army's field artillery service in the Civil War's principal battles, written by John C. Tidball, a distinguished artilleryman of the era. The overview, which appeared in the Journal of the Military Service Institution from 1891 to 1893, and nearly impossible to find today, examines the Army of the Potomac, including the battles of Fair Oaks, Gaines's Mill, Mechanicsville, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg; the Army of the Tennessee, including the battles of Stones River and Chickamauga, and the Army of the Ohio's battle of Shiloh. Tidball, a decorated Civil War veteran and superintendent of artillery instruction for the army, expertly presents the war through an artilleryman's eyes in explaining the organization, equipping, and manning of the artillery service. His analysis highlights how the improper use of artillery, tying batteries down to relatively small infantry commands that diluted their firepower, seriously undermined the army's effectiveness until reforms produced independent artillery commands that could properly mass artillery fire in battle. The Artillery Service in the War of the Rebellion, edited by historian Lawrence M. Kaplan and presented here in one volume for the first time, includes additional material from an unpublished paper Tidball wrote in 1905 which contains further insights into the artillery service, as well as a general overview of the Petersburg campaign. A major new discovery in Civil War scholarship, The Artillery Service in the War of the Rebellion contains essential information that will change earlier historical interpretations of key battles and will be essential reading for all those interested in the war or contemplating writing about it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ninth New York Heavy Artillery: A History of Its Organization, Services in the Defenses of Washington, Marches, Camps, Battles, and Muster-Out, With Accounts of Life in a Rebel Prison, Personal Experiences, Names and Addresses of Surviving Members, Personal Sketches, and a Complete Rost This book is in no way a history of the Rebellion. Not the slightest effort has been made to generalize, but throughout, the story is confined to the career of one regiment of soldiers. During the war more than 2,000 similar organizations did similar service, but what our regiment did, what our boys suffered, where they went, what they saw, - all these items make up the matter of this compilation, for such it is in the most thorough acceptance of the word. General Sherman said that no two men ever saw the same battle in the same light; that their stories, both true, would differ in essential features; granting this to be so, how much more diverse must be the recitals of the nearly 3,000 men who constitute the vast aggregate of the Ninth? While the infantry regiment, as a rule, was kept together and moved compactly, our body was divided into three battalions, and these again were subdivided, oftentimes, into more parts than companies, till we had squads scattered seemingly over a large part of the District of Columbia. Even when our departure from the defenses came, and for a few days we marched together, we were soon separated, and an observer for each division was desirable. Under such circumstances it became necessary to call on all surviving members of the regiment for such data as they might possess. Many responded nobly. Some who promised much, failed to send anything. However, those who did comply sent enough to occupy the possible time of nearly four years in reading and copying. Along with these letters, written home in war-times, and the daily record so carefully kept at the time, and preserved since, access should have been had to the regimental and company books, along with the pay-rolls now in the keeping of the War Department in Washington.
