Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
From Bacon Creek it moved with General Mitchell's command in the advance of General Buell's army southward to Bowling Green, then considered a rebel stronghold. It was the first to cross the bridge over Green river at Munfordsville which had just been completed, taking the advance on Bowling Green, reaching that point on February 14, 1862, and taking position on Baker's Hill in advance of the cavalry, having been on the double-quick for some distance, at once threw shot and shell into the rebel encampment, much to their surprise, as it was understood that Buell's advance had only reached Cave City.
