The Cannoneer

Augustus Buell chronicles the lives of Civil War artillery soldiers, specifically the New York Volunteers. This edition (without photographs) details their movements, battles, and individual actions. Notoriously, Buell's work is steeped in controversy, having faced accusations of libel, plagiarism, embellishment, and fabrication. Nevertheless, it offers a compelling, albeit disputed, glimpse into the unique experiences of a Civil War artilleryman.
