This book narrates concisely the story of camp life, march and battle of the men of Battery B, whose undaunted pluck, courage, gallantry and heroism in action won the admiration and praise of the Brigade. Within are glimpses of scenes in camp, on march, in bivouac and in battle, the skirmish line, the minie's buzz, the rifle's blaze, the thunderous volleys, the dash of the Battery into action, the cannon's roar, the bursting shells, the charge and counter-charge, where men were mowed down by bullet, shell and canister, the white pall of battle-smoke that swirled around the combatants and their colors, and the scenes in hospital and on field after battle.
