Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
The whistle of the first shell, fired at a locomotive, disturbed them in the preparations then being made for their retreat, and prevented the destruction of such stores as could not be carried off. the fire, although from a distance of about a mile and a half, was so precise that the first shell passed through the boiler of an engine, disabling it and thereby detaining nine others that could not be moved on accounts of its obstruction of the track.
