Synopsis

Relentless artillery, muddy roads, and hard-won tactics unfold from Kentucky to East Tennessee. This memoir follows Battery D, First Rhode Island Light Artillery, as it fights through the Campbell’s Station area and Fort Saunders during the Knoxville campaign of 1863. It presents a soldier’s-eye view of siege lines, improvisation, and the daily grit of Civil War artillery service.

Readers witness rapid decisions under fire, the challenge of ammunition shortages, and the teamwork that keeps a battery in action amid bombardment and retreat. The narrative blends field detail with personal texture, including characterful moments of courage and the chaotic rhythm of battle.




  • Firsthand accounts of siege artillery, field maneuvers, and counterattacks.

  • Descriptive scenes of camp life, logistics, and the strain of long campaigns.

  • Close looks at how artillery tactics shaped the fight at Fort Saunders and surrounding actions.

  • A vivid, on-the-ground perspective from a Civil War artilleryman’s viewpoint.



Ideal for readers of Civil War military history, battlefield narratives, and memoirs told from the gunner’s side.
