    Artillery at Seven Pines

    Hello everyone,

    Quick question: does anyone happen to have the numbers of smoothbore and rifled artillery for both sides at Seven Pines. If a number is not on hand, is there a convenient Internet resource that I can use to gather the info?

    Thanks,

    James Boyle
