The Library of Virginia (Richmond) manuscripts collection has an accessions (#25316) described as rosters, but the folder includes an interesting account by George E. Robertson of Captain Edward Graham's Battery of Horse Artillery (Petersburg Artillery). Graham is described as having been born in Ireland, the son of a British officer, who emigrated to Virginia as a youth. In the last days of the war, the unit had two guns remaining. Robertson writes about Sailor's [Saylor's] Creek, "we went into action on the west side of the creek and after firing our last shot, and that being a solid shot, the enemy almost upon us, Capt. Graham, with a sad expression on his face, ordered the guns limbered up. Gen. Gordon, seeing this, rode up and said 'Captain, don't leave yet, the enemy are not on you.' Capt. Graham replied, 'General, I have fired my last shot,' and then his eyes flashing fire he said, 'General, if you will give me ammunition, I will stay right here until h-ll freezes over, or I drive the d----d Yankees back,' and we, who stood by him, knew too well what that meant. We left the field with empty chests, but before reaching High Bridge we found an abandoned caisson with ammunition; filling our chests, we were engaged at High Bridge, Farmville, Buckingham and Appomattox." Robertson also goes into detail about the engagement at Buckingham. His unit's two guns cut their way out at Appomattox with Fitzhugh Lee and got to Lynchburg the next day, where they learned that Lee had surrendered. After eating a meal prepared by residents they went to the fair ground where they spiked their guns and cut up the harness. Three Virginians and 8-10 members of the battery from South and North Carolina elected to try to join up with Gen. Johnston in North Carolina. The three Virginians were identified as Geo. Wingfield, and George E. and John C. Robinson.
