Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
Our battery, which was stationed in a most important and perilous position, drew forth repeated praises for the terrible execution it did among the enemy's infantry. The battery was recognized by the rebels and a most desperate attempt was made to take it. It was a terrible charge, but a most disastrous one for them. Every man of the battery stood bravely and firmly at his post, while the bullets flew around us like hail. Some of the guns were double-shotted with canister, and the firing became most rapid, the rebels falling by hundreds.
