| 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 I. — Capt., Robert J. Nevin. This battery was recruited in
Lancaster county and entered the U. S. service for a period of six
months, being mustered in at Harrisburg, June, 1863. It was stationed at
Philadelphia until Nov., 1863; then in West Virginia, until Jan., 1864;
and then returned to Harrisburg, where it was mustered out on Jan. 7,
1864. So large a portion of its members reenlisted that with the
addition of new recruits, the battery was again mustered in at
Harrisburg on Jan. 7, 1864, this time for three years. It was ordered to
Philadelphia and thence to Washington, where it was posted at Forts
Whipple and Worth until the close of the war. It was mustered out at
Philadelphia on June 23, 1865. |
