Description
The American Civil War was predominantly an infantryman's war
Artillery had improved substantially since 1815 and guns could inflict murderous losses if they had a clear field of fire. But most Civil War battlefields were characterised by sprawling forests and broken ground. Cavalry were important for reconnaissance, raiding and rearguard actions but there was little scope for sabre charges in the grand old manner when infantrymen armed with muzzle-loading rifles could face such tactics with confidence.
Featuring illustrations and authoritative text, this book explores the fighting ability of the Confederacy's 642 infantry regiments, upon which their survival as a nation would depend.
