History of the 1st Kansas Battery in Civil War action
A long reminiscence recounts the 1st Kansas Volunteer Battery's service from 1861 to 1862. It details campaigns from Fort Leavenworth to Cane Hill and Prairie Grove, notable feats at Locust Grove and Prairie Grove, and the battery’s critical role in repelling Frost’s Confederate right flank. It contrasts Civil War actions with current national issues like conscription and constitutional authority, urging duty over protest.
