520 _a"History of the Second Massachusetts Battery (Nims' Battery) of Light Artillery" compiled by Caroline E. Whitcomb is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book details the military history and experiences of the 2d Massachusetts Light Artillery, known as Nims' Battery, during the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. Its purpose is to preserve the account of this artillery unit, highlighting its formation, notable battles, and the lives of the men who served in it. The opening of the text outlines the origins of Nims' Battery, initiated in response to urgent military needs in the early days of the Civil War. It describes the rapid mobilization of volunteers from the Boston area and their early training, as well as their initial movements and engagements in Baltimore. Key figures, such as Captain Ormand F. Nims, are introduced, setting the stage for the battery's significant contributions to various military campaigns in the South. The author emphasizes the organization’s diligent preparations and the camaraderie among the soldiers, hinting at the challenges and triumphs they would face throughout the war.
