Civil War Artillery
First Regiment Light Artillery
It was done, however, with less than one-eighth of that force, led by the gallant McClelland and Rosecrans. In this engagement which took place on the 11th day of July, the share performed by the battery was light, but it was there they were first under fire. After the capture of this point, the army advanced to Hutton-ville, about twenty-five or thirty miles to the southwest of Rich Mountain, and for a few months were encamped in Cheap Mountain Pass. No engagement was had in which the battery participated while in this camp. In September it was ordered to Elkwater, or Tygart Valley, where it remained for some time.
