From the field to the front lines, a soldier’s account of Battery F and the Rhode Island light artillery in the Civil War.

In this memoir, the narrator recalls his time as a young officer with Battery F, sharing patrols, marches, and moments of danger across North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. The narrative follows a string of expeditions, from leave in Rhode Island to combat near New Berne, Yorktown, and Williamsburg, and it captures the daily life, discipline, and small victories that defined service during the war.

Readers will glimpse personal letters, travel by steamer and canal towpath, and the realities of campaigns, discipline, and the bonds formed among artillerymen under strain. The book presents the human side of war—the routines of drills, the challenges of transport and supply, and the sharp changes in fortune that came with each engagement.

Firsthand accounts of marches, expeditions, and skirmishes in the Carolinas and Virginia
Notes on life behind the lines, leave, logistics, and the everyday duties of an artillery unit
Observations on the Northern home front, including civic events and the draft climate
Descriptions of the people, places, and moments that shaped a soldier’s experience

Ideal for readers interested in Civil War memoirs and military history, offering a grounded, personal view of a regiment in action.
