THE EFFECT OF EARTHEN FIELD FORTIFICATIONS HAD ON THE CIVIL WAR AND OTHER TACTICS
April 5, 2009
This Article is a result of discussions on the NSD Forum between Gfran64 (Greg) and myself plus a host of other members.
There's plenty to be learned about fortifing. Many battles in a litany of wars depended which side used fortifcation to their best advantage. There are a number of types of fortification, this article is going to be about field fortifications, Primarilly about Entrenchment and Breastwork/parapets . There is a long list of different types of fortifications, which can be discussed later. Greg and I are still gathering research to develop this article. Gettysburg had entrenchment, breastworks/parapets, ect., which has piqued the interest of many in the Civil War community.and of course of anything in the near future.
