The Morris Artillery

As part of the Army of Northern Virginia, Ewell's Corps, Rodes's Division, Carter's Battalion, Page's Battery, the Morris Artillery, armed with four Napoleons, was not engaged on July 1 until Union forces on Seminary Ridge extended their line to the right, when it opened on them with rapid enfilading fire in support of the infantry during the ensuing conflict. Meanwhile, it suffered from Union artillery fire in the valley north of the town. It afterward moved to the foot of the ridge and helped dislodge both the artillery and infantry of the Eleventh Corps. On July 2 it was held ready to move into position but was not engaged. On July 3 it was in reserve on Seminary Ridge. After nightfall on July 4 it began the march to Hagerstown.
