Artillery of army of Northern Virginia.
[Note.---The following roster of the artillery is kindly furnished by
Rev. George W. Peterkin, of
Baltimore, who served on the staff of
Brigadier-General W. N. Pendleton,
chief of artillery Army of Northern Virginia.
It is copied from a roster made out by him, from reports on hand, for
General Pendleton's use, and he vouches for its completeness and accuracy.
The date is not given, but is was evidently soon after the organization of the artillery into three corps, and before
Colonels E. P. Alexander,
A. L. Long and
R. L. Walker were made brigadier-generals and assigned respectively to the First, Second and Third corps].
