I'm trying to find some information on an ancestor's artillery battery.
The battery in question is Woodruff's-Marshall's Battery [also called Pulaski Artillery and, in 1864, the 3rd Field Battery]. They apparently completed their organization at Little Rock, Arkansas, in July, 1861. It participated in the Battle of Wilson's Creek where 4 casualties were reported, then saw action at Elkhorn Tavern. Later it was assigned to McRea's Brigade, Trans-Mississippi Department, and fought at Prairie Grove, Helena, and Bayou Fourche. The company ended the war in the Reserve Battalion at Marshall, Texas. Its commanding officers were Captains J.G. Marshall and W.E. Woodruff.
To date, that's about all the information that I've been able to find. Can anyone over here in the artillery community help me to flesh this out any further?
Kind regards,
