Artillery of Antietam lecture with Author Jim Rosebrock

The Artillery of Antietam is the first comprehensive examination of every Federal and Confederate artillery battery (135 in all), and their commanders that fought in the Maryland Campaign and all its battles. Over the course of writing the book and digging into the story of the artillery fight, Rosebrock discovered several new perspectives about the artillery at America’s bloodiest day.
James Rosebrock, a native of Buffalo, New York, earned a bachelor’s degree in Russian history from Niagara University in 1976. Upon graduation, he was commissioned in the United States Army and served for 28 years retiring as a lieutenant colonel in 2004. Jim subsequently worked at and retired from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in 2021. Jim has volunteered at Antietam National Battlefield since 2007 and currently works with Antietam’s artillery detachment, Battery B, 4th United States Artillery. A certified battlefield guide at Antietam since 2009, Jim led the guide service from 2012 to 2018 and is a founding member of the Antietam Institute. Jim lives with his family in Jefferson, Maryland. The Artillery of Antietam is his first book.

Good program.

Very good explanation of how artillery is organized and the gun types. This foundation helps.

A very good presentation and am looking forward to reading the book.
However, I'm a bit confused. In discussing the disadvantages faced by the Union artillery, Mr. Rosebrock states they had no Corps Artillery, then mentions Clarke and Getty who supposedly led the artillery of the 2nd and 9th Corps respectively. Were they only administrators or did they also have operational control of the guns?

Would have been important to actually address what the artillery accomplished at Antietam.

[@trevornewman2147]

All though nothing to do with Antietam that big artillery demonstration on the third day of battle at Gettysburg 150 guns i believe for two hours what actually did it achieve

You didn't say in your beginning what the heck a "limber " is. Make sure you define things & don't move on. What is a "limber?" Is that something your mother puts under your nose at night before you go to bed when you have pheumonia? You didn't tell us what the heck a "limber" is. Tell that guy in the back to shut up. He's not giving the presentation. In the audience I see 4 older men & one she-male. Good presentation. Thank You.
