About this product

Product Information

When the American Civil War (1861-1865) broke out, both Confederate and Union experts decided that specialized sharpshooter units should be formed. These highly trained marksmen served in a front-line role and, due to the technological developments of the 1850s, were equipped with weapons that could guarantee greater accuracy over increased range than traditional muskets. This title examines the recruitment, training, tactics and deployment of sharpshooters from both sides of the conflict. It also takes a close look at the specialized personal weaponry of the sharpshooter, the rifle and its accoutrements, as well as the sharpshooters' unique insignia and identification patches.

Osprey produces another "winner"
This is another of those well done books by Osprey that is a valuable addition to any library of books concerning Berdan's Sharpshooters. The confederate Sharpshooter portion of the book is also highly informative. The book contains a couple of photos that i have not seen before that must be from private collections. This book is not the "be all and end all" for sharpshooter information, but it certainly is a valuable tool.
