Re: 8th Michigan Battery Altanta Campain
For information, Captain De Golyer was mortally wounded when shot in the hip by a Rebel sharpshooter May 28, 1863. The battery was then located within a couple of hundred yards from the 3rd Louisiana Redan immediately north of the Jackson Road. [The Vicksburg Campaign, V.
