About This Book

The narrative recounts the origin, training, and wartime service of a Rhode Island light artillery battery, tracing recruitment, camp life, artillery drill, and movements from organization through major campaigns. It describes the unit's participation in field operations, siege and trench service, repulsing enemy assaults, and the final pursuit and surrender events, interweaving daily memoranda, official reports, and personal memoirs. The volume concludes with rosters, a mortuary record, and portraits of officers and men, providing a detailed administrative and human account of the battery's experiences during the conflict.

ERRATA.

On page 7, Willard M. Hixon, should read William M. Hixon.

On page 8, Edwin Northup, should read Edwin Northrop.

On page 25, “Capt. John G. Hazard, chief of artillery on General De Russy’s staff,” should read “Captain Howard on General De Russy’s staff.”

On page 82, William Freeborn is reported as slightly wounded. This is an error in Captain Allen’s report. It should read, “George W. Freeborn,” and mention should be made of his being wounded in his record on page 176. Also his name should appear on page 93 as one of the men mustered out June 28, 1865.

On page 132, Corp. John P. Campbell’s sketch reads: “born April, 1842,” should read “1846.”

On page 169, “Camp Barry, Va.,” should read “Camp Barry, D. C.”

Sergt. George Messinger’s name should appear on page 94 as mustered out June 28, 1865.

Lieut. Benjamin F. Child in the Index to Illustrations, page ix., should read Benjamin H. Child.

Luther A. Phillips’s name appears in the Mortuary Record as having died since the war. This is erroneous, as we have recently learned that he is still living.
