An artilleryman's account of LRT and Hazletts role.

Larry,
That's a good article !
It tells us how the participants of the battle were anxious to right the wrongs they saw in the different accounts, thirty years after the event.
I wonder how far away those confederate sharpshooters were. They shot to kill, that's clear. The battery lost more men killed than wounded, which speaks of carefully aimed fire, as opposed to the random shooting that wounded many more than it killed.
Regards, Phil
