Civil War Battery
Battery B
The battle-field had now extended to our camp. The Captain directed me to get as much of my section away as possible in case of probable capture. I stalled in company with the orderly, but could only use four horses, with which I started with the Parrott gun in the direction of the river. I left a corporal to spike the six-pounder should the enemy advance before I returned; but to my astonishment on returning I found the enemy had driven us in over a mile. I could hear nothing of the battery.
I then took a direction to the right, when I saw General Sherman, and got in front of his line, but was soon ordered back, and had just got inside of the line when he opened fire.
