Synopsis

The deployment and operation of Naval Howitzers in support of army maneuvers has been a long neglected subject in the study of the Civil War. This fascinating period work offered tactics and drill instruction for volunteer naval officers engaged in just such procedures. In 1863, then Lieutenant-Commander Edward Barrett was the Instructor of Gunnery at the New York Navy Yard, teaching volunteer officers basic gunnery practices. In an effort to push through their training as fast as possible, he wrote and published this instruction manual at his own expense. Naval Howitzer is reproduced here in its entirety for the first time, with a new Introduction by Steven Bogdan adding newly researched background information and biographies not available in the original, and never before assembled on the key personalities involved. This edition is a totally cleaned and remastered scan that is actually better than the 1863 original. It has 43 extra pages of introduction, biographies, errata and glossary with 13 added photographs.
