Description
Artillery played a decisive in the U.S. Army of the Cumberland's victory at the Battle of Stones River. One of the most profound effects that the cannons had was their psychological impact on their enemy. Watch as a six-gun battery fires and hear how Union artillery affected the hearts and minds of the Confederate soldiers facing them.
