“.
. . 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.
