In Camp and Battle with the Washington Artillery of New Orleans
Officially known today as the 1-141 Field Artillery Battalion, the legendary Washington Artillery has documented history back to the early 1800's, but undocumented claims have its organization date as far back as the earliest times of the founding of New Orleans. This is William Miller Owen's classic account of the activities of the famed Washington Artillery during the Civil War years. The book includes rare details, photos and drawings. This is a photographic reproduction of the 1885 edition.
WM. Miller Owen was born in Cincinnati, Ohio; son of Allison Owen and Miss Caroline Miller, daughter of Judge William Miller of Rapides Parish, Louisiana & Ursuline Meillion.
Married Miss Caroline A. Zacharie, daughter of James W. Zacharie, one of the most prominent merchants of New Orleans before the war, who, with two sons, survives him.
Educated at Gambier, Ohio Military Academy
