Summary "Battery D First Rhode Island Light Artillery in the Civil War" by George C. Sumner is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work chronicles the experiences of Battery D, a light artillery unit from Rhode Island, during the Civil War, detailing its formation, training, and engagements in various battles from 1861 to 1865. The narrative offers an intimate perspective on the life of soldiers and the challenges they faced throughout the war. The opening of the book begins with the formation of Battery D shortly after the outbreak of the Civil War, highlighting its initial organization and deployment to Washington, D.C. The author, a member of the battery, notes the eagerness and youthfulness of the soldiers, emphasizing their rapid preparation for service as they trained and drilled diligently at Camp Sprague. The text outlines the early movements of the battery, describing their camp life, the hard work required to prepare for winter quarters, and the initial review that showcased their military capabilities.
