Carpenter's Battery
Carpenter's Battery was a famed Confederate artillery battery unit in the American Civil War.〔Clarence Albert Fonerden. 1911. ''A Brief History of the Military Career of Carpenter's Battery from its Organization as a Rifle Company under the Name of the Alleghany Roughs to the Ending of the War Between the States''. New Market, Va.: Henkel & Co., Printers, 78 pp.〕 The unit was first organized at Covington, Virginia on April 20, 1861 as Company A of the 27th Virginia Infantry Regiment, the "Alleghany Roughs."〔Joseph H. Carpenter papers. (MS #333), Virginia Military Institute Archives, online guide accessible at http://www.vmi.edu/archives.aspx?id=3945; and Fonerden, p. 68.〕 When the Captain who organized the company resigned due to ill health, the captaincy devolved upon his First Lieutenant, Joseph Hannah Carpenter, who was born in 1834 at Covington, Virginia, in Alleghany County, Virginia. Carpenter had been an artillery cadet under General Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson in the class of 1858 at Virginia Military Institute〔Fonerden, p. 15.〕 and legend has it that General Jackson recognized his former student's name on the company muster roll and ordered the company converted to an artillery battery with Carpenter as its captain, thus becoming "Carpenter's Battery."
Among the original members of the company were Joseph's brothers John Cadwalider Carpenter and Samuel Steuben Carpenter.〔Fonerden, p. 68; and Mary Evelyn Harlow Carpenter: ''The Carpenters of Fort Carpenter, 1746-1949'', privately published, Covington, Va., ''ca.'' 1949, 67 pp. + pls.〕 The brothers played a central role in the unit's wartime service. When the company's commissioned officers were reorganized after the First Battle of Manassas, Joseph H. Carpenter became the captain of the battery with John C. Carpenter as his first lieutenant; in a later reorganization John C. Carpenter became the captain of the battery with Samuel S. Carpenter as his second lieutenant.〔Fonerden, p. 15.〕 Captain Joseph H. Carpenter was wounded in action on August 9, 1862 at the Battle of Cedar Mountain, and died from the effects of his wound on February 5, 1863 at his parents' home, Fort Carpenter, Virginia.〔U.S. National Park Service: ''27th Virginia Infantry, Record After First Manassas'', http://www.nps.gov/mana/forteachers/upload/27thVaRecAfterAvery5389.pdf.〕 John Cadwalider Carpenter, born in 1839 at Covington, Virginia, served as captain of the battery after his brother Joseph was wounded; he commanded the battery through many engagements, including fifteen major battles, and lost an arm in combat at the Battle of Fisher's Hill, but survived the war.〔Carpenter: ''The Carpenters of Fort Carpenter, 1746-1949''.〕
