GDG- Calef's Battery and Buford's Division

Thu Aug 24 12:14:06 CDT 2006

Hi,

According to the OB in the OR, Calef's Battery A, 1st U.S., was assigned
to the Second Brigade Horse Artillery, Commanded by CPT John Tidball.

According to Calef, "June 14.--Battery arrived at Warrenton Junction
with Second Brigade Horse Artillery, Captain Tidball, which relieved
First Brigead (sic), Captain Robertson.  Same day joined the cavalry
command of General Buford." (OR 27, Pt I, pp1029).

The Cavalry Corps did not have a Reserve.  They had two horse artillery
brigades with a total of 9 batteries assigned.

I'm sure that one of the cavalry experts can provide more details on the
horse artillery and the attachment of Calef's battery to Buford's
division.

VR, Rick Schaus

Esteemed GDG Member Contributes:

Was Calef's battery in Buford's (First) Division on June 30?
  Or was Calef's battery in an artillery reserve of Pleasanton's Cavalry
Corps?
