Description: "Raised from Rhode Island farmers and millworkers in the autumn of 1861, the Union soldiers of Battery G fought in Antietam, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, Spotsylvania, and Cedar Creek. This history captures the battlefield exploits of the "Boys of Hope" but also depicts camp life, emerging cannon technology, and the social backdrop of the Civil War"--Provided by publisher.
