A massive work, which includes a brief history of the Medal of Honor including the evolution of American military awards, brevets, Certificate of Merit, Congressional Medals, Roll of Honor, Pyramid of Honor, 1916 Review Board, double winners, Acts of Congress, and more. Each major war or campaign in which an artilleryman won a Medal of Honor (MOH) is covered: Civil War 1861-65, Indian Wars 1861-98, Philippine Insurrection 1899-1913, Vera Cruz 1914, World Wars I and II, Korea 1950-53, and Vietnam 1964-75. Each of these sections contains a brief overview of artillery MOH recipients, followed by detailed info for each individual winner. An appendix details how the author came to the conclusions published in this work, and how all previous sources on the subject have not been as complete as they should have been in crediting many recipients with artilleryman status. There are twenty-three detailed tables included, which present facts and figures to put the MOH story into perspective, especially as it relates to artillerymen. Much of this data has never been available in any other published source.
