and assigned to General Geary's command, and re-
manned with him until the war closed. 1t partici-
pated in all the prominent engagements of the
Eastern Army, including Cedar Mountain, An
tietam, Charlottesville, and Gettysburg, until
September, 1868, when the Twelfth Corps, to which
the battery was attached, was ordered to Chatta-
nooga to join the Army of the Cumberland. After
two months hard fighting in Tennessee the term
of service of the battery expired; but it imInedi
ately enlisted for second term of three years.
In the campaign from Chattanooga to Atlanta the
battery was engaged for one hundred consecutive
days in hard fighting, and it was at the battle of
Pine Knot that shell from this battery killed
the rebel general, Bishop I.eonidas Polk.
The battery was among the first to enter Atlanta
when il was evacuated, and remained with Cen
eral Sherman's army until after the grand review
here in 1855. During its service the battery made
a complete circuit OF the conference.-the two
years from 1868 1865. In 1868 the battery entered
