This Trestleboard is focused on artillery of the Civil War:
Pvt. John H. Worsham of the 21st Virginia Inf described in his diary
seeing the effects of a solid shot that descended into a line of men:
“I heard a thud on my right, as if one had been struck with a heavy
fist. Looking around, I saw a man at my side standing erect, with his
head off, a stream of blood spurting a foot or more from his neck. As
I turned farther around, I saw three others lying on the ground, all
killed by this cannon shot. The man standing was a captain . . . and
his brains and blood bespattered the face and clothing of one in my
company. This was the second time I saw four men killed by one
shot. Each time the shot struck as it was descending—the first man
had his head taken off, the next was shot through the breast, the next
through the stomach, and the fourth had all his bowels torn out.”
