Artillery Hell
•
Brigadier General John Gibbon leaves his mount to assist the crew of Battery B, 4th U. S. Artillery. With most of the regular members of the battery either dead or wounded, the gun depicted here was manned by a 15-year-old Bugler, Private Johnny Cook, and 22-year-old Infantryman, Private William Hagerty, both of whom would receive the Medal of Honor for their valiant actions "above and beyond" on this day. Supporting the four regiments of Brigadier General John Gibbon's "Iron Brigade," who were spearheading the advance of Federal I Corps to open the Battle of Antietam, was Battery B, 4th U. S. Artillery. Ordered to unlimber west of Hagerstown Pike, the battery quickly lost half of its cannoneers to Confederate sharpshooters.
•
At 6:30 a. m., on September 17, 1862, the 18th Georgia Infantry Regiment of Hood's Texas Brigade launched a furious attack to overrun the battery. Supported by the 6th Wisconsin, the cannoneers fought desperately to save their guns. The acrid smell of gunpowder filled the air, and the smoke was so heavy at times that the cannoneers could scarcely see their targets, as the Georgians advanced to within 15 yards of the guns. After assisting his wounded battery commander to the rear, Private Johnny Cook, the battery's 15-year-old bugler, observed that nearly all the cannoneers were down in the battery. Picking up a pouch of ammunition, he moved to the guns and worked as a cannoneer for the remainder of the battle, at times working alone. One of the guns had been ordered to displace forward to the pike and engage the Confederates with cannister.
•
The crew, now manned by inexperienced volunteers, was firing so rapidly that no one was aware that the elevating screw lowered with each round fired causing the gun's missiles to pass harmlessly over the heads of the Confederates. Brigadier General Gibbon, who once commanded the battery, noticed what was happening and yelled to the crew to "run up the elevating screw."

We had a busy week with school visits, a Revolutionary War anniversary event on Friday, and a @richter_arts_danbury concert today!

Many people contributed to the success of our Friday night program celebrating author Jack Kelly’s book “God Save Benedict Arnold” and commemorating the Raid on Danbury by British forces 247 years ago. Among them, Danbury Councilperson Emile Buzaid who introduced us to artist Mark Maritato who so generously lent two of his National Park Service commissioned Valley Forge paintings for our viewing pleasure!

And today we are hosting another performance in the @richter_arts_danbury spring series, this time featuring the Roger Post Jazz Quartet, playing to a full house.

Thank you to all who attend and support our events and those we host for our community partners.

If you're up for it, we'd love to hook you up with three pieces on the house! Yup, you read that right – completely FREE!

Just shoot a DM over to our main account @gnarcy.ambs (if you dont see a DM button, just reply to any of their stories), and our guy Shawn will sort you out pronto! But hey, don't sleep on it – spots are filling up fast, and we'd hate for you to miss out on the action! Cheers, mate! 🤙

The Baltimore Battey was armed at Antietam with four guns of different types: a 3 inch Ordnance Rifle, a 12-pounder Blakely Rifle, a 10-pounder Parrott Rifle, and an iron 12-pounder smoothbore howitzer. The battery was reported to have fired the first artillery shots of the battle on the morning of September 17.

From the monument reads Maryland Baltimore Battery
Jackson’s Division
C.S.A.

The Battery, under
the command of Capt.
J.B. Brockenbrough,
occupied a position
near this marker at
daybreak, and opened
the battle on the
Confederate side.
The monument to the
Maryland troops is
near the Dunkard
Church.
