[Footnote: "Question.

You have studied the history of battles a great deal: Now, in the battles of Napoleon, had they at any time half as many artillery engaged as there were at Gettysburg?
Answer.

I am not sufficiently conversant with military history to tell you that.

I think it very doubtful whether more guns were ever used in any one battle before.

I do not believe Napoleon ever had a worse artillery fire." Testimony of General John Gibbon, Committee on Conduct of the War, vol.iv.
