Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
At 'chickamauga, September 19th, the record is nobly maintained and almost ended. There, sooner than abandon its position, it suffered nearly annihilation, making one of the most determined defenses on record, dealing to the rebel hosts, pressing up in masses to the muzzle of the guns, utter destruction within its entire range, but finally had to surrender the guns so dearly prized, Lieutenant Van Pelt, its commander, fighting most heroically for their preservation, and dying by their side.
