About This Book

A first-person regimental history, compiled from veterans' memories and a camp diary, traces the formation, officer elections, roster, training, deployments, and combat service of a Southern artillery battery in the Civil War. It interleaves organizational detail—equipment, ranks, medical staff—with vivid camp-life scenes, daily routines, shortages, and anecdotes about morale, discipline, and personal conduct. Campaign movements, engagements, and logistical hardships are recounted chronologically through officers' and privates' perspectives, concluding with the unit's later actions and surrender while noting the shifting responsibilities of surgeons and the long-term effects on participants.
