Regimental History
Independent Batteries. — Nine light batteries (A to I inclusive) were organized in the state while the war was in progress and served at various places as independent organizations, but all rendered a good account of themselves, winning praise from their commanding generals on many occasions.

Battery G. — Capt., John J. Young. This battery, composed mainly of men from Allegheny county, was mustered into the U. S. service at Harrisburg, Aug. 22, 1862, for a three years term, and ordered at once to Fort Delaware, Del., where its entire term of service was spent, and on June 18, 1865, it was mustered out at Harrisburg.
