Welcome to the
CIVIL WAR ARTILLERY SITES

The Civil War Artillery Page Learn about the men and materiel that were so often the pivotal difference in the battles that punctuated the most bloody period in our Nation's history. The Civil War Artillery page covers everything from the flags and uniforms that helped to build the superb esprit de corps of the artillerymen, to the cannon and ammunition that made them the kings of battle. This prize-winning site has been featured in The Artilleryman and the Civil War News, and has been cited for excellence by Studyweb, the History Channel, and the 1861-1865 Outstanding Site Award.

Third Battery, 1st Michigan Light Artillery More than just another reenactors' site, the Third Battery pages include not only information on the activities of the reactivated unit, but an extended and growing history of the men who served in the War. The results of years of archival research is a moving portrait of the Battery's soldiers and their families. Also a prize winner, the Third Battery page has been cited by Studyweb and is an 1861-1865 Outstanding Site.

National Register of Surviving Civil War Artillery Wayne Stark, co-author of The Big Guns, is a nationally recognized authority on the artillery of the American Civil War. The Register is a detailed listing of the more than 5000 cannon that still survive, gracing our National Parks, cemeteries, and other monuments across the country. The list is an invaluable resource for preservationists, battlefield visitors, and even law enforcement authorities. The webmaster is particularly proud of this collaboration with Mr. Stark, whose dedication to this task is matched only by his superb organizational skills.

The Encyclopedia of Civil War Artillery The Encyclopedia is another collaboration with Wayne Stark, which will provide artillery students with a photograph and description of every type of cannon used in the American Civil War. From the familiar Napoleon to the most exotic import, from the light field pieces to the monster Rodmans, you will find it all here.
