Bouton's Battery in the Civil War (Annotated)

By Edward Bouton

When the Civil War broke out he sold his lucrative business and chiefly at his own expense, raised a battery which throughout the war was known as Bouton's Battery--Battery I, First Regiment, Illinois Light Artillery.Generals Halleck and Sherman both pronounced him the best artillery officer in the army. "He was the most daring brigadier we had in the West."Bouton met Captain Ulysses S. Grant in Illinois just after the outbreak of war. He met Sherman at Shiloh. In that battle, at Corinth, on the Mississippi, at Tupelo and elsewhere, Edward Bouton served with both Generals and proved his worth as an outstanding officer.Now you can read about this remarkable man and his wartime exploits, one of the forgotten heroes of the American Civil War.Every memoir of the American Civil War provides us with another view of the catastrophe that changed the country forever.
