Southern Historical Society Papers, Volume 23. (ed. Reverend J. William Jones), Historical sketch of the Rockbridge artillery, C. S. Army, by a member of the famous battery. (search)
George W. Hostetter, transferred to [probably Fifty-eighth Virginia volunteers]. The following died: Alexander Harris, at Fort Delaware, between September 9 and October 4, 1863; James A. Nicely and John E. Davis, at Chimborazo, both in 1864—the latter on June 30th; and Ambrose Thompson [or Tomlinson] died July—, 1864. From this point onward the records are few and unsatisfactory. The next muster seems to have been August 31, 1864, at New Market Heights, where it was June 30th. July 15th, the battery went into position in the pits before day, and after daylight fired a few rounds, then came back to its former position on New Market Heights; remained quiet in camp till 26th at 9 P. M., when the guns were again sent down to take position in the pits; 27th, at daylight opened fire on the enemy, when the battery was immediately flanked, charged, and captured, its infantry support having given back; loss, four twenty-pounder parrot guns, one man wounded, and one missing.
