Battery G, 4th U.S. Artillery, commanded by Lieut. Marcus P. Miller, belonged to the Artillery Reserve attached to the Fifth Army Corps. On the morning of September 17, 1862, the battery was in the field just east of Porterstown. About 3 p.m., under orders of Brigadier General Geo. Sykes, it reported to Major General Burnside and was placed on the high ground east of the Rohrbach Lane, where it overlooked and commanded the approaches to the stone bridge over the Antietam, but it was not actively engaged.
