CONDITION AS SEEN ~ SOME WATER DAMAGE, HOLES, ETC.
Battery A. -- Capts., David C. Stone, Theodore S. Thomasson; First Lieuts. Alphonso W. Roath, John H. Mellen, Robert A. Moffett, John D. Irwin William H. Sinclair, John H. Landwehre; Second Lieuts, George W. Clark, William K. Irwin, Frederick B. Sanger. This battery was organized in July, 1861, at Camp Jo. Holt, opposite Louisville. Capt. Stone's battery was with the force that went to Muldraugh's Hill and it was there that his men were mustered into the U. S. service Sept. 27 1861. When the Confederates fell back from Kentucky on account of the fall of Fort Donelson, Battery A was taken to Nashville and attached to Gen. McCook's division of the army under Gen. Buell. Passing over the field of Shiloh it went before Corinth, Miss., where it continued until that place was evacuated by the enemy. In June it was at Florence, Ala., in July at Battle Creek, and in August at Pelham, Tenn. It moved with Buell's army to Kentucky and was engaged in the battle of Perryville. After Bragg left Kentucky the battery returned to Nashville. It participated in the battle of Stone's River, being as effective there as at Perryville though suffering more, not only in men but also in the loss of horses. During the year 1863 it was taken to numerous points on marches and reconnoissances, among them one in September to Stevenson, Ala. Being selected for the defenses of Nashville, middle Tennessee, and the railroads in that section, it was kept there during the winter, spring and summer of 1864. In Jan., 1864, it went into the veteran organization. From Pulaski it fell back with the Federal forces under Schofield through Columbia and Spring Hill to Franklin, where it took a leading part in the battle of Nov. 30, after which it moved with Schofield's troops to Nashville, and fought in the battle there in December. On Dec. 17 it moved to Franklin on the 18th to Spring Hill, 19th to Rutherford creek, 21st to Columbia, 23rd toward Pulaski and engaged with the retiring enemy firing 40 rounds. It then followed Hood's broken army southward as far as Huntsville, Ala., where it remained until Feb. 1865. It went into East Tennessee with a force in March and returned to Nashville where it spent April and May, 1865. It was then taken to New Orleans in June and later to Victoria, Tex. From that point it returned to Louisville where it was mustered out Nov. 5, 1865.
