Summary "Our Battery; Or, The Journal of Company B, 1st O.V.A." by O. P. Cutter is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides a detailed narrative of the experiences of Company B of the First Ohio Volunteer Artillery during the Civil War, focusing on their organization, training, and early engagements. The book serves as both a chronicle of military life and a personal testament of bravery and camaraderie in the face of adversity. The opening of the journal introduces readers to the regiment's formation in response to President Lincoln’s call for troops, highlighting the leadership of Colonel James Barnett and the enthusiasm of the soldiers as they embark on their military journey. It recounts the departure from Cleveland, the transition to camp life, the initial drills and preparations for battle, and the camaraderie among the men. The author sets a vivid scene of their travel to various locations, including Camp Dennison and Cincinnati, as they ready themselves for the conflicts ahead, clearly illustrating the challenges and moments of levity that punctuate their experiences in the army.
