Battery B, Light Artillery. - This battery was also a part of the Purnell Legion when it was first organized at Pikesville in the fall of 1861 and mustered into service for three years. It was commanded by Capt. Alonzo Snow, and was generally refer- red to as "Snow's" battery. Its first service was along the eastern shore of Virginia, but in the summer of 1862 it joined the Army of the Potomac, then on the Chickahominy river. It played a considerable part in repulsing the Confederates at the battle of Malvern hill, and after the Peninsular campaign was with McClellan in the campaign against Lee in Maryland, distin- guishing itself at the battle of Antietam. In the spring of 1863 it was assigned to the department of West Virginia, and was with Sigel in the Shenandoah Valley the following year, when it joined the army under Gen. Hunter for the advance upon Lynchburg. It participated in the following battles and skirm- ishes: New Bridge, Malvern Hill, Antietam, Fredericksburg, New Market, Piedmont, Lynchburg, Salem and some minor actions along the eastern shore during the early part of its service. It was mustered out on July 3, 1865.
