While I was perusing the Battles and Leaders of the Civil War which consists of reprints of articles from the Century Magazine issues printed between 1883 and 1887, I came across a few articles written by a private. Warren Lee Goss. These articles are out of copywrie but are interesting reading for anyone interested in the Civil War from an enlisted man's point of view. Below is the first article entitled "Going to the Front."

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.
