Roemer's Battery

| View Cart ⇗ | Info

“The war in Virginia- Roemer’s Battery, Third Division, Ninth Army Corps, shelling Petersburg. Our readers will be able to study the siege of Petersburg in our illustrations as they did that of Vicksburg. It is one of those cases where pictorial illustration has an advantage over mere verbal accounts. Here we see the Thirty-fourth New York Battery (Roemer’s) and the Seventh Maine (Twitchell’s), of Wilcox’s Third Division of Burnside’s Ninth Army Corps, shelling the city of Petersburg itself as it stands in full sight, and less than three miles off."— Frank Leslie, 1896
