Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
A fire so rapid and accurate being kept up the rebels hurriedly made a retreat before they could make preparation either for the removal of their stores or for accomplishing their destruction.
On the completion of this valuable service and most excellent practice, the battery was complimented by General Mitchell, who was himself an accomplished artillerist, having entered that arm of the service from West Point; while it also received from the War Department a highly commendatory order for its extraordinary march on Bowling Green, and the important part it took in the affair at that point.
