Description

This is a marvelous little booklet, "Report of the 45th Annual Reunion" of Battery A, a well-traveled and well-regarded Civil War artillery unit from Ravenna, Ohio.  It's about 4" x 5", has 22 pages and is staple bound.   The reunion was Aug. 9-11, 1911 at Brady Lake, Ohio.  This report has the daily activities, members and friends/relatives in attendance, committees, and a financial report.  Condition is very good.  Capt. Charles Cotter founded and headed up the battery, which saw considerable action during the war.
This history of the unit is from ohiostatehouse.org
Battery A was organized under Ohio Militia Laws in Ravenna, Ohio as early as 1860 by Captain Charles S. Cotter. Before the Civil War, the well-drilled unit was used mainly for 4th of July celebrations, but, in 1861, after a three month stint in West Virginia, the battle of Scarey Creek exposed Battery A to its first taste of combat. By September of 1861, Battery A was mustered into national service for three-years at Camp Chase, Columbus, Ohio. The following day they were moved to Gallipolis, Ohio and assigned to Brigadier General Cox.
. . . .
By the end of the Civil War, Battery A served in Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana. The unit had marched or been transported over six thousand miles, took part in thirty six skirmishes, and fought in nine of the hardest battles of the war. More than thirty thousand tons of ammunition was fired by the guns of Battery A, 1st Ohio Light Artillery. Surprisingly, the unit only lost a handful of men: 15 were killed or mortally wounded during battles and skirmishes and another 33 died from disease for a total of 48 men killed in action during the five years of the Civil War.
