The Utah Batteries: A History / A complete account of the muster-in, sea voyage, battles, skirmishes and barrack life of the Utah batteries, together with biographies of officers and muster-out rolls.

A veteran author offers a concise, firsthand history of two artillery batteries, tracing their muster and sea voyage to an overseas theater and recounting their land and river operations in support of broader campaigns. The narrative blends action descriptions—gunboat work, artillery engagements alongside infantry, and skirmishes—with everyday barrack life, fatigue duties, marches, hunger and disease. Complementary material includes short biographies of officers, muster-out rolls, rosters and illustrations, all presented as factual recollections intended to preserve the participants' experiences and the logistical and combat challenges they faced.
