Battery B, Fourth U.S. Artillery

Battery B, Fourth U.S. Artillery, part of the Army of the Potomac's First Corps Artillery Brigade under Lieut. James Stewart, had six 12-pounders. On July 1 it was positioned about 200 yards south of the Seminary until 3 p.m., when it was ordered to support Brig. General J.C. Robinson's Division, First Corps, and took position on Seminary Ridge, with one half of the battery between the Chambersburg Pike and the railroad cut and the other half north of the cut in the corner of the woods, where it was actively engaged. The battery afterwards retired with the troops to Cemetery Hill, where it went into position on the Baltimore Pike opposite Evergreen Cemetery, commanding the approach from the town, with two guns on the pike and two in the field, two guns having been disabled. On July 2 and 3 it remained in this position. Casualties were 2 men killed, 2 officers and 29 men wounded, and 3 men missing.
