THE CIVIL WAR
ARTILLERY PAGE

HISTORY & REENACTMENT


Most reenactment pages will include at least some information on their historical battery, as for example our own Third Battery, First Michigan Light Artillery. For that reason, I have simply listed artillery web sites divided into Union and Confederate. Because its primary purpose is historical, the listing is by the state of the adopted unit, rather than by the location of the reenactors. For a listing by that location, see Brian Boyle's Reenactment and Living History Information pages. Readers should also consult the more general web sites listed below.
