Book excerpt: "The generals did not see what the privates saw." So wrote U.S. Civil War veteran Pvt. Oney Foster Sweet, 1st Pennsylvania Light Artillery, 43rd Pennsylvania Volunteers (14th Reserves), Battery F (Ricketts' Battery), 1861-1865. His previously unpublished letters, diaries, and retrospective pieces offer a unique glimpse of the war from the view of a private simply trying to survive a deadly conflagration in which one in five combatants perished. This first-hand account of what the private saw is a distinctive addition to the many existing volumes on the American Civil War. The book is edited and annotated by Larry M. Edwards, an award-winning author, editor, and investigative journalist

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the coming the Gettysburg Campaign, a group of students from Lancaster, Pennsylvania's Franklin & Marshall College followed their professor of Greek to the front. A former student at the college and the son of one of its presidents, professor Robert Nevin had served with distinction as an officer with the 122nd Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville before returning to his position at the college.His new fledgling artillery battery was first sent to the Columbia, along the Susquehanna River, and then to Harrisburg, the state capital, as the waves of the Confederate offensive lapped at the city. While the Confederate forces were recalled to Gettysburg, the battery was officially mustered into service as Independent Battery I, Pennsylvania Light Artillery to serve for six months.Following its mustering in, the battery was sent to Philadelphia to quell expected draft riots. Following a period of training, the battery found itself moving to the front at Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. At Harpers Ferry, its cannon were taken away. Not to be sidelined, the men of the battery volunteered for service in "ironclad" railcars defending the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, receiving their baptism of fire. Also, the men of the battery found themselves serving as "pioneers," building fortifications on Maryland Heights.After reforming into a "three-years" unit, Independent Battery I was sent to the defenses of Washington DC, serving in forts Worth, Ward, Williams and Whipple. The battery was present for the Confederate attack on the Washington defenses, known as the Monocacy campaign. The men of the battery trained on heavy artillery, closely followed the 1864 presidential campaign, visited local sites such as Arlington House, were present for Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, manned the fortifications on the night of Lincoln's assassination and witnessed the Grand Review.In 1865, Independent Battery I was mustered out of service, and Lancaster's only artillery battery became a part of history. Its commander, Robert Nevin, went on to be the most famous American in Europe at the end of the 19th century. Now a member of the clergy, he founded the first Protestant church within the walls of Rome, and mixed with people such as Theodore Roosevelt, Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany, Prime Minister William Gladstone of England, the Grant Family and George McClellan.The book includes rosters of the battery in the various forms it existed (student battery, six months battery, three years battery and one years men). In addition, the book contains an appendix with biographical information on many of the men of the military unit, as well as information on their uniform and corps designation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Hampton Battery F, Independent Pennsylvania Light Artillery: Organized at Pittsburgh, October 8, 1861; Mustered Out in Pittsburg, June 26, 1865 At the Annual Reunion of the Hampton Battery Veteran Association held at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 11, 1902, the following resolution was unanimously adopted: "Resolved, that the Secretary, William Clark, be authorized to compile a suitable History of the Battery during the Civil War," which was signed by Benjamin R. Park, President, William T. Rees, Assistant Secretary, and Henry Hemple, Treasurer. After a great deal of labor and research the following volume has been prepared, and it is hoped that it will prove of interest to the surviving members of the Battery and their friends. It is hard to compile a history of any one of the three Pitts burgh Batteries in the Civil War, - Hampton's, Knap's and Thompson's - as they were so closely identified through nearly the whole period of the conflict. They were in the same Army Corps and Division during the greater part of the four years of their service, and the history of one is really the history of all. The three Batteries lost in killed in action or who died of wounds received in the service forty-nine men, and nearly double that number were wounded. They were in active service nearly four years in the old Army of the Potomac, and their history is a part of the history of that Army, of which most truthfully and justly at the close of the war it was said: 'This Army from the beginning has preserved its identity like no other of the national forces. The elements of all the other armies have been continually changing by transfers from one line of operation to another.

Book excerpt: The story of Pennsylvania's field batteries during the Civil War is, to a great extent, the story of the war itself. Pennsylvania field batteries served through the duration of the war and in every major theatre of the conflict. A Pennsylvania field battery was one of the first units to rush to the defense of Washington after the attack on Fort Sumter, and others fought with the Army of the Potomac in every one of its major engagements except the First Battle of Bull Run. Pennsylvania batteries were stationed in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas, and as far away as Texas. Some Pennsylvania batteries also served within their home state during the war, and during the 1863 invasion of Pennsylvania that culminated in the Battle of Gettysburg, some fought in the direct defense of their home state's soil. This work tells the story of the entire Pennsylvania field artillery service collectively rather than as a series of individual unit sketches. It chronicles the entire service of the Pennsylvania field artillery, and shares each step along the way-not only what each Pennsylvania battery did, but also what other Pennsylvania batteries were doing at the same time, and how their stories are all interconnected. Numerous illustrations, appendices which include "Officer Listings by Organization" and "Battery Assignments," a bibliography, and an index to full-names, places and subjects augment this exceptionally well-written narrative history.
