Excerpt from American Sharp-Shooter: A Treatise on Gunnery, Illustrating the Practical Use of the Telescope as a Sight, as Applicable to the Rifle, Rifle Battery, Artillery,& C
The time has arrived in our country's history, when every person of suitable age should at once acquaint himself with the use of military weapons, in order to enable him to act well his part in the great drama of rebellion, which now threatens a dissolution of our sacred and glorious Union. A new era in the art of "gunnery" has dawned upon us. The writer, having for some time observed the deficiency that exists in the United States Army in the practical and effective use of fire-arms, has in the following pages endeavored, to impart some useful information upon this subject. Every person, whether he be a military man or a civilian, should possess himself of this knowledge at once. To be a "good shot" requires a steady nerve, clear vision, and a correct knowledge of range, elevation and distance, and familiarity with his piece. A scienced gunner, whether he operates heavy ordnance, artillery, rifle battery, er a rifle, should be able to strike his object every shot. Even the unerring aim of the skillful "sharp-shooter" would miss "his mark," unless he is fully posted in these rules.
