Title: Good book on CW artillery, but poorly organized.
Review: Centered around his massive personal collection of photos and measurements of surviving Civil War artillery, Warren Ripley attempted to create a definitive work on the subject. However, it suffers from poor organization and a disjointed narrative. If the stories of historic and unusual cannon were placed in a separate chapter, the book would be easier to follow. The mass of data should be repeated in tabular form in an appendix, instead of being solely displayed under each individual cannon's picture. This book is good for the Civil War artillery enthusiast, but Olmsted's book is better for field artillery and Stark's book is better for heavy artillery.
