The battery, consisting mainly of clerks from Chicago, participated in 11 major battles, 26 minor battles, and 42 skirmishes. They played a crucial role in holding the center at Stones River, repulsing a Confederate attack, and later joining 50 other Union guns in stopping one of the most dramatic offensives in the Western Theater. The battery also resisted an overwhelming assault along Chickamauga Creek alongside Colonel Robert Minty's cavalry. This history recounts the actions of the Chicago Board of Trade Independent Light Artillery at various battles, including Farmington, Dallas, Noonday Creek, Atlanta, during Kilpatrick's Raid, and at Nashville and Selma.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 151g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 254 x 178 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781476683911\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dennis W.
