Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
Next morning it was ascertained that two more of the guns had been recaptured and were out some distance on the pike. Lieutenant Wilber, then in command of the battery, and a squad of men went out and secured them. This gave the battery four of the guns with caissons, but they were unfit for service and so reported to General Rosecrans, who ordered the battery to Chattanooga. The third day of the battle the battery reported two guns fit for service and went to the front but did not become engaged, and were returned to Chattanooga and assigned to a position near the railroad in front of Mission Ridge.
