Artillery Battery
13th and 14th Battery
On the 1st of November, 1864, the battery was stationed in the fortifications of Washington, being attached to Harnden's division, 2d corps, and was doing garrison duty at Fort Reno, until February 27th, 1865, when it was mounted as cavalry and detailed for duty in Maryland, assisting the 13th N. Y. cavalry in suppressing guerillas, and otherwise maintaining peace in that section. Immediately after the assassination of President Lincoln, it was on duty with the regiment referred to in Maryland and Pennsylvania, following up the parties who had been engaged in the conspiracy against the President and his cabinet, and assisted in arresting Harold and Mudd, two of the conspirators.
