Preface
In recent years, revisionists such as Thomas Connelly, James McDonough, Grady McWhiney, and Richard McMurry have provided valuable new insights concerning the historiography of the Confederate Army of Tennessee, its battles and leaders. The time seemed appropriate, therefore, to undertake a study of what one officer referred to as "the neglected branch of the Army [of Tennessee]": the artillery corps, or western "long arm." Its story is particularly instructive because, in many respects, that branch served as a microcosm of problems that transcended the entire army. Too, like the army as a whole, it lived under the shadow of its more accomplished counterpart in,the Army of Northern Virginia.
