Originally published in 1915, when Jennings Cropper Wise was
commandant of the Virginia Military Institute, "The Long Arm of
Lee" has never been surpassed as an authoritative study of the
Confederate artillery in the Civil War. Volume I describes the
organization and tactics of the field batteries of General Robert
E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia and their performance in famous
battles, including those at Bull Run, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain,
Harper's Ferry, Sharpsburg, and Fredericksburg. It ends with the
bitter winter interlude before the Chancellorsville campaign of the
spring of 1863. Volume 2 of Wise's history, also available as a
Bison Book, takes up the harrowing events stretching from
Chancellorsville to Appomattox.
In his introduction, Gary W. Gallagher addresses some of the
myths exposed by Wise, touching on the persistent under-estimation
of the artillery's role in winning battles.
