Title
Yesterday's
Artillery
:
May-June
1775
Subcollection
The
American
Revolution\Building
an
Artillery
:
1775-1783
Description
In
combating
the
rebellious
colonies
,
one
of the
main
objectives
of the
British
was the
capture
of
military
stores
,
especially
artillery
equipment
.
Americans
expended
much
energy
keeping
such
materiels
from
being
taken
. This was
somewhat
ironical
because
America
did
not have
experts
in the
field
of
gunnery
and there was
precious
little
written
on the
subject
in
English
.
Part
of the
artillery
craft
was the
construction
of
fortifications
,
hence
anyone
who
had
experience
in
engineering
could
pass
as an
artillerymen
.
One
of the
surest
ways
for a
foreign
officer
to
obtain
a
commission
in
America
was to
pose
as an
expert
in the
artillery
or
engineers
.
