Talk:1st Missouri Field Battery

Source 📝

1654:- Confederate artillery batteries were generally known by the name of their commander, so the unit simply renamed when Roberts resigned, which was the only significant change in the battery at the time. The "1st Missouri Field Battery" renaming was simply an administrative change (reasons aren't clearly given, but seem to be so that the unit could be better tracked in CSA gov't records). Of the two changes in cannons, the second was simply re-arming the unit, and the McGhee source makes it clear it kept lineage through the first change. McGhee contains a multipage work solely about this unit, and makes clear how the lineage stayed the same through the unit. It was not unusual for artillery batteries in the war to retain continuity after command or weapon changes. The overall strength and casualties are not always known - the Confederates kept very poor records as it was, and many were destroyed when the Confederacy fell. As to the other sources, Kennedy, Geise, Woodhead, and Ripley are only there for background information. There is significant coverage of this unit's actions in Shea (what it did during Prairie Grove), Bearss 1964 (its actions at Pine Bluff), and Forsyth for the whole Jenkins Ferry debacle (Forsyth isn't used as much in the article, as I wanted to keep source balance in the section by using McGhee and Johnson in there as well). So with McGhee's multipage complete history, and the coverage in Shea, Bearss 1964, and Forsyth, we have four sources that qualify for GNG, which is 1391:
bore and rammed home before being discharge. Cannons were in a period of transition during the ACW. Traditionally they were smoothbore, with the solid shot cannon ball necessarily being slightly smaller than the gun's bore to facilitate loading. This windage, as it was known, reduced the power, range and accuracy of cannon. They were considered to be mostly obsolete by that time. From XXXX some cannons were rifled, with a series of grooves engraved into the bore of the barrel of the piece; the grooves spun the projectile when it was fired. This allowed a smoother fit between the cannonball and the bore, which reduced the leakage of propellant gases and greatly improved the piece's weight of projectile, range, and accuracy. The 6-pounder smoothbores with which the battery was equipped fired a projectile that weighed about 6 pounds (2.7 kg) to a range of about 1,500 yards (1.4 km). The 12-pounder James guns were 6-pounder smoothbores that had undergone the rifling process and fired a 12 pounds (5.4 kg) projectile to a range of 1,700 yards (1.6 km).
1766:- I'll add at the strength, I could've sworn that was in there. The history-sites forum is not RS, but I'll see if I can track down details in RS. The "largely untrained in artillery matters" is referring to the unit when it was first formed, which is to be expected. The Confederacy was attempting a revolt, so of course it had to take the rocky process of training civilians to shoot large cannons, "improvised" is not a good way to describe this as it was a standard unit that was inexperienced when it formed. Do you intend to take this to FAR? I borrowed most of the books used to write this, so knowing if I should go pick stuff up from the library and my dad would be nice. (As an aside, McGhee's 170 figure is referring to over the source of the unit's life, not necessarily 170 at one time). 364: 612: 591: 21: 335: 622: 396: 227: 380: 493: 472: 503: 54: 436: 1400:) and required between four and six men each to fire. Cannons during the American Civil War were drawn by horses when they needed to move, and were generally slow-moving and easily hampered by muddy roads. Field batteries consisted of four to six cannon which were sufficiently manoeuvrable that they could be brought on campaigns and moved around on a battlefield. In use they would attempt to remain out of smallarms range and blah, blah. 1130: 156: 75: 283: 727: 1103: 1095: 1084: 1059: 1051: 1043: 1025: 1017: 997: 986: 968: 960: 949: 297: 258: 1176:

And the article doesn't seem to go into much detail about the unit's makeup. What was its official strength, for example – how many soldiers and casualties did it have? And none of the sources seem to be devoted specifically to the unit – they all seem to be more general works. So, how do we know

Cannon were long range weapons, at this period propelling projectiles about x to y feet. Most were direct fire weapons, except for howitzers, which used high-trajectory indirect fire. All cannon of the period were muzzle-loading, with the propellent and projectile being placed in the front of the

I agree. I still don't know why this was featured on the main page. What's so special about this unit? It seems like it was just another Confederate artillery company, and as you mentioned this unit doesn't seem to have any medals or any other awards or distinctions. Perhaps it was just added as

According to the article, this unit started in Arkansas as "Roberts' Missouri Battery". It then finished the war in Louisiana as the "1st Missouri Field Battery" with a different commander, cannons and name. In what sense can this be said to be the same unit? Is there something which gave it
