Book excerpt: Artillery played an important and perhaps decisive role at the July 1863 Battle of Gettysburg. Although many hundreds of books have been published on the battle, few have focused on the artillery. Silent Sentinels fills this flaring gap in the literature. This well-written and illustrated study was designed for both the casual battlefield visitor and the serious scholar. The former will use Silent Sentinels to tour the battlefield, browse existing guns, ponder the many photographs, and learn more about artillery in general; the latter will find the extensive primary sources, diagrams, appendices of numbers and losses, and informative discussion of organization and tactics an indispensable reference resource. Silent Sentinels discusses in detail every gun-type used at Gettysburg, the equipment needed to operate the guns, their organization, and the tactics employed by both Union and Confederate artillery men. In addition to a history of the artillery and how it was used, the author includes chapters on the park’s collection of 436 guns, the pieces on display at the field today, how to identify the different types of cannon, and how to identify the date and place of manufacture. Silent Sentinels concludes with a driving tour of the battlefield, specially designed with the artillery in mind. This lovely historical guide, complete with detailed endnotes and bibliography, will be a welcomed addition to the growing Gettysburg titles.

Arriving at her small cottage in Connecticut, Kate, unbeknownst to Paul, has no desire to discuss the ERA but to uncover the truth behind Paul’s tortured illegal imprisonment in 1917, a secret that has remained buried for over 50 years. By revealing parts of her past, told through flashbacks, Alice hopes to achiever her biggest coup in the little time she has left. In doing so, both women confront the men in their lives who have aided or stood as roadblocks to their desires. Will both be willing to share their deepest secrets despite the costs?

They stand on duty twenty-four hours a day, every day in the year, and— year in and year out. They guard thousands of dollars worth of property and equipment. They prevent service interruptions and costly shutdowns. They are really and truly the silent sentinels of the electrical industry. Automatic control is a reality. Supervisory control has been introduced. The inter - connection of systems is no longer an experiment. Service is now reliable and continuous. All of these are attributes of super-power— a new era in the electrical industry. And they were made possible through Westinghouse pioneering in the relay art. Not only has Westinghouse introduced most of the present-day relays, but this Company has also developed various schemes and methods of relay application. Westinghouse relays and relay practice have played an important role in the progress of the electrical industry. It is the purpose of Westinghouse to maintain and extend this leadership to meet the exacting requirements of the future.
