This
209 page hardcover book remains the most comprehensive source of
information on modern use of historic artillery.
Part I consists of 63 pages of facsimile
reprint from an 1861 privately printed artillery drill manual. It was
designed to train new volunteer artillery officers in the School of the
Piece. Unlike the official government manual, it is well illustrated
showing the correct positions for gun crew.
Part II, Chapter l is on traditional gun
tube design and the variations observed on replica cannon made since
1950, which do not meet traditional standards.
Chapter two deals with carriages,
replication and maintenance, including wheel repair.
Chapter three deals with ammunition in a
modern context, including currently available powder granulations and
pressure tests conducted in the late 1980's.
Remaining chapters deal with Service of the
Gun, as adapted to current conditions, 18th Century Gun Drill, Use of
Mortars, Use of Early Breechloaders. Additional appendixes deal with use
of small models, safety rules from two national organizations, and an
extensive annotated bibliography.
