DOWNLOAD EBOOKWilliam Miller Owen served as first lieutenant and adjutant of the Battalion Washington Artillery of New Orleans. Realizing at the time of his service the importance of an accurate, objective account of his exploits, Owen set out to keep a record of the events up until the surrender of General Lee. Later, using his own diary as a starting point, he compiled a manuscript for publication. This is his account. Owen hoped that his manuscript would be used for the compiling of later histories. It includes a detailed record from the Battle of Bull Run to Appomattox and Spanish Fort, along with illustrated maps and engravings. This is an exact reproduction of Owen's manuscript, with the addition of three illustrations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOfficially known today as the 1-141 Field Artillery Battalion, the legendary Washington Artillery has documented history back to the early 1800's, but undocumented claims have its organization date as far back as the earliest times of the founding of New Orleans. This is William Miller Owen's classic account of the activities of the famed Washington Artillery during the Civil War years. The book includes rare details, photos and drawings. This is a photographic reproduction of the 1885 edition.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from In Camp and Battle With the Washington Artillery of New Orleans: A Narrative of Events During the Late Civil War From Bull Run to Appomattox and Spanish Fort A few days prior to the battles of Bull Run and Manassas, in July, 1861, an order was issued from the head-quarters of Gen. Beauregard in reference to the posting, at the several fords over Bull Run, the different brigades and batteries of the Confederate forces under his command, to meet the advance of the army of invasion, under Gen. McDowell, then on its march towards Richmond from Washington. I remember the last sentence of the order; it read as follows: "In the event of the defeat of the enemy he is to be pursued with cavalry and artillery until he is driven across the Potomac."

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn The Pride of the Confederate Artillery, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., illustrates the significance of the unit and, for the first time, positions this pivotal group in its rightful place in history. The Fifth Company, Washington Artillery of New Orleans, fought with the Army of Tennessee from Shiloh to Chickamauga, from Perryville to Mobile, and from Atlanta to Jackson, Mississippi. Slocomb's Battery, as it was also known, won repeated praise from every commander of that army. Although it sustained high losses, the company was recognized for its bold, tenacious fighting and was considered the Army of Tennessee's finest close-combat battery. The Pride of the Confederate Artillery is the compelling story of four hundred men, their organization and service, their victories and defeats in over forty battles.
