Description

Illustrated with in the past unpublished photos, letters, documents, and diary entries, the untoldstory of the Chesapeake Artillery comes to light. Comprised chiefly of men who lived near the shores of its namesake bay, the Chesapeake Artillery used to be the last Confederate battery organized from the state of Maryland. It used to be also by far the smallest, with barely more than half the common enrollment of other Maryland batteries within the Confederate army. Regardless of its size, the unit used to be steadily cited for its bravery and efficiency, including by Stonewall Jackson. That is the history of the unit, from its formation through all its battles with the Army of Northern Virginia until the give up at Appomattox, where only 13 men remained. A unique statistical analysis of census and military records data highlights its characteristics. Included is an entire roster of the entire men who served within the unit.
