FIRST REGIMENT MICHIGAN LIGHT ARTILLERY
Then shook the hills with thunder riven, Then rushed the steeds to battle driven, And louder than the bolts of heaven, Far flashed the red artillery.
The First Michigan Light Artillery consisted of twelve bat- teries, organized at different dates and assigned to duty in different localities, some being on duty with the Western armies and others with the armies of the east.
Regiments of infantry and cavalry ordinarily are kept together as a unit and serve as a single organization, but such is not usually the case with an artillery regiment, each battery being attached to some distinct army, post or regiment, and it is seldom, if ever, that the regiment is all assembled together at one place.
The several batteries of this regiment were engaged in many dif- ferent battles and skirmishes in all parts of the Southern Confeder- acy and some of the gunners developed a degree of marksmanship that would be creditable, even in these days, of such greatly im- proved guns and gunnery. The writer once was an eye witness to an example of this on the field of battle in the state of Mississippi. A running cavalry fight between the Federal and Confederate cav- alry forces had been in progress for several days, the Federals gradually forcing their opponents to retreat southward, although their progress was stubbornly contested. Coming to a valley some- thing like a half mile wide, as the Union soldiers were descending the northern slope, the Confederates suddenly and most unex- pectedly uncovered a field gun and opened up with a rapid and vigorous fire of grape and canister. Battery C, of the First Light Artillery, was with the Union cavalry, but had not been called into action. However, one of its guns was speedily unlimbered and gunner Chandler Hamlin, a Van Buren county soldier, told to send a solid shot across the valley, which he speedily did, his first shot striking the enemy's gun full in its muzzle and putting it en- tirely out of commission, resulting in a considerable degree of de- moralization in the ranks of the retreating foe. And this was but
