The 4th Mass. Heavy Artillery was organized by Special Order, War Department, dated Nov. 12, 1864, and was composed of the 17th to 28th Unattached Cos. of Heavy Artillery.
These companies had been mustered into service in August, 1864, and were already assigned to duty in the defences of
Washington.
They had left the
State before the middle of September, and were stationed on garrison duty at the forts near
Washington.
After the organization of the companies into the 4th Heavy Artillery their service remained the same, the regiment being stationed at
Washington until its muster out, June 17, 1865.
