Would anyone care to hazzard an opinion on the following: Given that as a result of his efforts during the Mexican War, Braxton Bragg was considered an expert Artillersit. Wht did he fail to reveal this same trait as Corps and later Theater commander? Specifically at the Hornets' Nest at Shiloh, when a single battery brought forward, loaded with double canister would have reduced that position in a timely fashion as well as later. outside of Chatanooga (sp??) at the Battle in the Clouds, where a defensive use of artillery should have stifled the Federal assault? Any and all ideas and comments welcomed.
