In The Pride of the Confederate Artillery, Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., illustrates the significance of the unit and, for the first time, positions this pivotal group in its rightful place in history. The Fifth Company, Washington Artillery of New Orleans, fought with the Army of Tennessee from Shiloh to Chickamauga, from Perryville to Mobile, and from Atlanta to Jackson, Mississippi. Slocomb's Battery, as it was also known, won repeated praise from every commander of that army. Although it sustained high losses, the company was recognised for its bold, tenacious fighting and was considered the Army of Tennessee's finest close-combat battery. The Pride of the Confederate Artillery is the compelling story of four hundred men, their organisation and service, their victories and defeats in over forty battles.
Nathaniel Cheairs Hughes, Jr., is the author of many books on the Civil War, including Liddell's Record; Bentonville: The Final Battle of Sherman and Johnston; The Life and Wars of Gideon J. Pillow; and General William J. Hardee: Old Reliable.
