Capitol Hill (United States) (search for this): chapter 5
movements were slow and executed at a walk; but as they became familiar, we manoeuvred with a promptness and precision that would have reflected credit on older batteries. These drills, with one or two exceptions, always took place either on Capitol Hill or near the Toll-house at Camp Barry. As time wore on, other batteries came and joined us, until a large brigade of artillery was assembled here. Among them was the Twelfth New York Battery, of which Lieut. Adams afterwards had temporary least approximating its accustomed dignity and importance. December 13th the bloody battle of Fredericksburg was fought, and we recall at this moment the sadness that pervaded our camp on the two succeeding days, when we saw over across on Capitol Hill the long line of ambulances passing slowly along, depositing their suffering loads of human freight, from that disastrous field, in the Lincoln hospitals just erected here as if in anticipation of this very event. At Camp Barry the practice

e warm bath innocently administered to the ear of our late comrade George L. Clark, to any one of the original members, who made the camp resound with laughter for days after, whenever the matter was mentioned. On the 17th of October we established our camp on an eminence of the field in which we had passed the night, having been provided with A tents (so called from their shape), which accommodated four men each. Having got fairly established in camp, the work of organization, begun in Boxford, was carried on to completion. The non-commissioned officers, already alluded to as appointed at Camp Stanton, have been given in the roster. Six other corporals, called chiefs of caissons, were appointed on our arrival at Camp Barry. They were as follows: Lewis R. Allard, James S. Bailey, Jr., William B. Lemon, William H. Starkweather, Tobias Beck, George A. Pease. The duties of the first sergeant were mainly executive, consisting in taking charge of all general or special

. Later in our experience, when horse-flesh became scarcer, each of these was drawn by six mules, and Messrs. Slack, Johnson, and Abbott learned a new tongue, which, although mastered with some difficulty, eventually became, with the aid of a little of the black snake, a powerful agent in toning down or spurring on the recalcitrant mule. An Ambulance, drawn by two horses, designed to carry the sick and wounded, completed the materiel of the Battery. Two Buglers, Joshua T. Reed and John E. Mugford, had been appointed to sound the calls for the various camp duties and for movements in drill, and William H. Fitzpatrick was selected as Guidon, or standard bearer. All other preliminaries having been properly arranged, the horses were distributed to the drivers, and taken to the Washington Arsenal to be fitted with harnesses and to draw back guns and caissons. The former having been accomplished, with no trifling amount of opposition on the part of some of the animals, they were h

The Eleventh Massachusetts Battery, already here, greeted us with a cup of coffee all around, and furnished shelter for many of us, while the rest passed the night on the ground. Many of the Battery men will recall an incident which happened the next morning while a few were still sleeping on the ground; but we will refer the general reader, for particulars concerning the warm bath innocently administered to the ear of our late comrade George L.
