I just realized I missed this group.
This battery, under the command of Asa Cook, was recruited for six month duty. On May 30, 1862 the first 40 recruits were sent to Camp Cameron. On June 25 the Battery left the state. On its way through Trenton N. J. its train derailed. Two men & 13 horses died in the accident. Much of their equipment was also destroyed. (1)
(1) Massachusetts in the Rebellion, P. C. Headley, Walker, Fuller & CO., Boston, 1866.
