Excerpt from The History of Battery B, First Regiment Rhode Island Light Artillery, in the War to Preserve the Union, 1861-1865
The reason for the existence of this book is an expressed desire on the part of the survivors of the battery whose history it attempts to record, that an account of their experience during the Civil War of 1861 - 5 should be compiled and published.
In 1875, Lieut. Gideon Spencer, Rowland L. Dodge, and Daniel C. Taylor were by the members of Battery B Veteran Association appointed Historical Committee to collect records and other material of interest.
In 1880, Daniel C. Taylor, chairman, reported for the committee that nothing of importance had been accomplished and no progress made. At their own request the committee was discharged, and John Delevan appointed Historian, who, in 1885, reported progress, and was instructed to co-operate with Col. J. Albert Monroe, Regimental Historian for the Rhode Island Light Artillery.
In 1890, Historian John Delevan reported that there was no prospect of a Regimental History of the Rhode Island Light Artillery being published, but hoped that Battery B might have one.
The publishing of the history would have been a difficult task but for the action of the General Assembly at its January session, 1891, in passing a Resolution (No. 14) to purchase 200 copies of any battery history published to the satisfaction of the Secretary of State.
