Tracking down battery composition for the 1862 Campaign in the Valley. (Yes, I know I'm crazy.) Does anyone have a clue on these?
Raines' Battery (Lynchburg Artillery)
Rice's Battery (New Market Artillery)
Brockenborough's Battery (Baltimore Lt Artillery)
And does anyone know how the 1st Rockbridge Artillery (McLaughlin's, then Shumaker's, then Poague's) was structured after they lost two guns at Kernstown. I know one of the lost guns was a 6-pd smoothbore, but I don't know about the other. Thanks, Robert |

This might help a little. link The old Terrible Swift Sword series was fairly well researched. Here's the Battle of Kernstown from Board Game Geek. |

Thanks, Dn. And yes, everything--pretty much--looks well researched. But I need one level deeper--something which tells the difference between a section of 6-lb smoothbores, one of Parrotts, and one of 12-lb howitzers. |
