Wipperman, DarinTHUNDERBOLT TO THE REBELS: The United States Sharpshooters in the Civil War Sharpshooters were the elite of the Union army. Tells the story of these Civil War deadeyes on battlefields from Antietam to Gettysburg and beyond. During the first year of the Civil War, Hiram Berdan proposed the creation of a unit of marksmen armed with Sharps rifles, and thus were born the 1st and 2nd U.S. Sharpshooters. Drawn heavily from the Upper Midwest and New England, as well as Pennsylvania, the soldiers had to pass a marksmanship test to join: 10 shots in a 10-inch-diameter circle from 200 yards. Draws on primary sources, especially eyewitness accounts, to reveal how these elite marksmen lived, fought, and died during the Civil War. Contains eight maps and 13 tables.1 vol, 304 pgs 2025 US, STACKPOLE BOOKS NEW-hardback, available late February 2025 ......$35.00 discount: :10% rct ..see our AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
