Re: For what it's worth Part II

Always been fond of the photo of Petit's btry. Battery B was raised in my home town of Baldwinsville, NY. Strangely enough, Petit himself resigned from the army soon after forming the battery. The battery was badly handled at Gettysburg, where is was positioned near the "high water mark".
