First sentence: IT was not a mere sneer that described Napoleon as "only an artillery officer." His method of massing great guns was almost unknown in America when the Civil War opened; the Confederates, to their cost, let two years go by before organizing so as to allow of quick artillery concentration: yet what else could have won Gettysburg for the Federals?
Proper defense against cannon was even less understood until the Civil War.
