“. . . how a superb unit history should be written.”
Parker’s Virginia Battery, C.S.A.
by Robert K. Krick
“ . . . a model for how a superb unit history should be written . . . .”—James I. Robertson. “Krick’s effort takes his readers into the world of the Confederate artillery through the eyes of Parker’s Battery. It remains a classic work.” —Civil War News. “. . .a careful and interesting narrative, thoroughly backed by research into official documents, dispatches and letters. . . . A fine map and roster fill out the effort, creating a worthwhile Virginia unit history.” —The Civil War in Books. Parker’s Battery was a significant unit, and the good bibliographic materials available allow Krick to cover the subject in depth. Parker’s battery of four guns was one of the five batteries that comprised a battalion commanded successively by Stephen D. Lee, E.P. Alexander, and Frank Huger. It participated in every significant engagement fought by the Army of Northern Virginia, and west in Tennessee in 1863 as well. ISBN 0-916107-78-7 $35
