[Joe Owen]

Outstanding summary about the artillery regiments both Confederate and Union that fought at Gettysburg and the locations, personnel, and types of artillery that the regiments fought with. Again, the late Gregory A. Coco did an outstanding job in editing and writing the book.

[William Olenick]

Short but a great source to learn more about the artillery at Gettysburg.
