Summary "Diary of Battery A, First Regiment Rhode Island Light Artillery" by Theodore Reichardt is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This detailed narrative chronicles the experiences and campaigns of Battery A during the American Civil War, highlighting the trials, camaraderie, and events that the soldiers faced while serving the Union cause. At the start of the account, the author reflects on the camaraderie within Battery A and their transition from civilians to soldiers following their enlistment in June 1861. The opening details their embarkation from Providence, Rhode Island, enthusiasm for military service, and initial experiences in Washington, D.C., alongside the energy and excitement of preparing for battle. The camaraderie is palpable as they recount their drill practices, heart-wrenching farewells to loved ones, and the anticipation leading to their first engagements. The narrative paints a vivid picture of the lifestyle and emotions of the soldiers during this pivotal time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
