CHAMPIONSGATE, Fla. - Nov. 17, 2015 - PRLog -- Progressive Rising Phoenix Press is proud to announce the release of Muzzle-Loading Artillery for Reenactors, the definitive work on the subject by Award-Winning Author William Speir. The book is based on decades of experience keeping Civil War Artillery Reenactors safe and historically accurate. Anyone serving as part of an artillery crew using muzzle-loading artillery, or anyone interested in the hobby of Civil War Artillery Reenacting, could use this book as a tool.

       This single volume textbook, based on earlier works by the author, includes information on the nomenclature, ordnance, deployment, command, personnel, and drills for Muzzle-Loading Artillery used in America between 1812 and 1865. The primary focus of this textbook is on Field Artillery – the most common type of Muzzle-Loading Artillery portrayed by reenactors, living historians, and ceremonial units. Drills for Mortars, Naval Artillery, and Heavy Artillery are also included for reenacting groups, living historians, and ceremonial units who use these types of artillery in their portrayals.
