{"product_id":"three-cheers-for-the-chesapeake-rick-richter-9780764352621","title":"Three Cheers for the Chesapeake!: History of the 4th Maryland Light Artillery Battery in the Civil War","description":"Illustrated with previously unpublished photos, letters, documents, and diary entries, the untold story of the Chesapeake Artillery comes to light. Comprised chiefly of men who lived near the shores of its namesake bay, the Chesapeake Artillery was the last Confederate battery organized from the state of Maryland. It was also by far the smallest, with barely more than half the average enrollment of other Maryland batteries in the Confederate army. Despite its size, the unit was frequently cited for its bravery and efficiency, including by Stonewall Jackson. This is the history of the unit, from its formation through all its battles with the Army of Northern Virginia until the surrender at Appomattox, where only 13 men remained. A unique statistical analysis of census and military records data highlights its characteristics. Included is a complete roster of all the men who served in the unit.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rick Richter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764352628\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764352621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 7.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Rick Richter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44583733461247,"sku":"9780764352621","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cf725d36-a649-4621-8933-5742624c5e97.jpg?v=1701883254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/three-cheers-for-the-chesapeake-rick-richter-9780764352621","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
