Battery L - 1st United States Artillery 1860-1865 (9781937721848)
It was not long, however, before the bold actions of an unknown brigadier by the name of Grant captured the two essential forts in the Tennessee line, causing the Confederacy to abandon the coast and head to the defense of the Mississippi Valley.
Battery L "saw" most of the subsequent action there, and after Grant was promoted to lieutenant-general, effectively giving him control of the entire Union war effort, they were shipped to yet another valley - the Shenandoah, to fight in the battles that led to the end of the war.
