“On the 22d, a little life and activity was manifested in camp by orders to prepare for inspection. There had not been an inspection of Battery B since it left Fredericksburg in June, and, as the battery and equipments were all new, it did not take long to get ready. At eleven a. m. the battery was hitched up, but remained in park with the gun detachments at their posts. At 11.30 Capt. John G. Hazard, chief of the artillery brigade of the Second Corps, with his staff, inspected the battery, expressing his satisfaction of its appearance in a short address ; the command was dismissed and returned to quarters with perspiration streaming from every pore, for the heat was very oppressive.” Excerpt From: Rhodes, John H. [from old catalog]. “The history of Battery B, First regiment Rhode Island light artillery, in the war to preserve the union, 1861-1865.” Providence, Snow & Farnham, printers, 1894. iBooks.
