Schroeder Collection. Illustrated with archival portraits, contemporary battle maps, operational battery sketches, detailed chapter annotations, biographical roster data, and comprehensive index. A pristine, unread copy with sharp corners, an uncreased spine, tight binding, and immaculate leaves throughout. Retains the original $19.99 publisher price intact above the rear barcode. Compiled and edited by Norman L. Ritchie, Four Years in the First New York Light Artillery preserves the candid wartime journals, battlefield dispatches, and personal letters of Captain David Francis Ritchie (1840–1899) of Battery C and Battery H, 1st New York Light Artillery. Mustered in late 1861, Ritchie served continuously throughout the major campaigns of the Army of the Potomac, directing artillery fire through the Peninsula Campaign, Second Manassas, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Overland Campaign, and the Siege of Petersburg. Ritchie's articulate letters offer an intimate, smoke-filled view of battery tactics, the logistical horrors of hauling caissons and guns through Virginia mud, artillery counter-battery duels, and the internal politics of the Union artillery reserve. An essential primary-source monograph for New York artillery collections, battery-level tactical studies, and Eastern Theater operational research.…
