Book Description
The men of Battery or Hewitt's Battery were recruited by Capt. Hewitt for infantry service, but as an artillery company was needed, it was drilled for that service, and was mustered as such by Gen. Thomas October 8, 1861. At that early period of the war it was under Gen. Thomas, and was used in the parts of the state about Somerset, Columbia and toward Cumberland river. Technically this unit was the Kentucky 3rd Artillery Regiment, Company B, but it was generally known as an independent Battery. The career of this battery was most useful and honorable, beginning with Gen. Thomas, when he was contending with Zollicoffer's forces in Eastern Kentucky, it faithfully obeyed every order and bravely discharged every duty it was called upon to perform for full three years of active field service. While the Battery was at Murfeesboro, the place was attacked by Forrest, and a part of the Federal forces, was captured. At this time Battery B lost two guns. The battery fired four hundred and ninety three rounds.

Book Description
The Kentucky Independent Light Artillery Battery A was organized at Camp Joe Holt, Ky., from Louisville Legion July, 1861, as Stone's Battery, and mustered in at Camp Muldraugh's Hill, Ky., September 27, 1861. Battery A had long service, much of which was exceedingly active. It performed every duty to which it was called with a disciplined bravery which elicited the commendation of all commanders under whom it served. It did not arrive on the field at Shiloh to participate in the battle, but was active in most all other engagements in the west up to and including the Atlanta Campaign and Franklin and Nashville. It was in the vicinity of Nashville when the war ended, but was transferred to New Orleans, then to Texas before being mustered out November 5, 1865.
