I've been trying to find detailed breakdowns of the artillery numbers and types of artillery held by the armies in the field for either side at different points in the war. I've been able to find some numbers on my own but the numbers don't match up very well.

I plan to create some videos explaining why the Confederates chances of capturing D.C were slim to none and wanted to include artillery disposition and production to put things in a better perspective. If anyone has any good sources (or things that I should add to why the Confederates couldn't capture D.C) I'd really appreciate it.

I have the Union at the start of the war possessing around 4,000 pieces with only 165 of them being field guns. I don't have a number for the Confederacy for total pieces but I have field guns numbering 56.
