Numbers 332. Report of Captain James H. Rigby, Battery A, Maryland Light Artillery.

BERLIN, MD.,

July 17, 1863.

SIR: I have the honor to report the following as the part taken by my battery in recent fight at Gettysburg: On the morning of July 2, I was ordered to place my battery in position on a hill about 1 mile south of Gettysburg and 500 yards west of the Baltimore turnpike. The Twelfth Corps, under the command of Major-General Slocum, occupied the woods in front. I opened fire at about 2 o'clock on a battery of the enemy, distant about 2, 500 yards; but, finding the distance too great, I ceased firing for that day. At daylight on the morning of the 3d, I commenced shelling the woods in my front, and continued firing slowly for about three hours. I remained in this position until Sunday afternoon, July 5. During the whole time I only fired 211 rounds-41 rounds of Schenkl percussion shell and 170 Hotchkiss shell. I have been informed by Major-General Slocum that the battery did terrible execution. On sunday afternoon I was ordered to report to the headquarters Artillery Reserve.

I am happy to state that I had no casualties whatever.

I am, sir, most respectfully, your obedient servant,

JAMES H. RIGBY,

Captain, Commanding Battery A, Maryland Artillery.
