Squires's Battery - Eshleman's Battalion

On July 3, Squire's Battery of Eshleman's Battalion, Army of Northern Virginia, Longstreet's Corps Artillery Reserve, had only one Napoleon and co-operated all day with Miller's Battery. It advanced before daylight into position about 100 yards north of the Peach Orchard, assisted in repelling skirmishers, and took part in the cannonade preceding Longstreet's assault. After the repulse of that assault, it moved several hundred yards to the left to aid in resisting a countercharge if attempted, then soon withdrew to the rear. On July 4 at 9 a.m., it marched with the battalion to Cashtown to reinforce the cavalry escorting the wagon train. Losses were not reported in detail.
