Graves' Battery C.S.A.

Graves' Battery, C.S.A., with six field pieces, occupied this position commanding the valley of Indian Creek. On February 13, 1862, in the morning, its guns opened an effective fire upon Federal troops advancing in an attack against the position held by Neiman's brigade and aided materially in repulsing the attack. Later that day, when a Federal battery under Captain McAllister opened fire from a hill to the right front, Graves' battery joined with Porter's in silencing McAllister's guns. On February 15, Graves' battery supported the Confederate attack.
