They then spent the next nine months in the Washington D. C. defense perimeter. In February 1863 Captain John Bigelow was assigned to command the 9th. Bigelow was a 21 year old senior at Harvard when he volunteered for service He was seriously wounded at Malvern Hill and served at Fredericksburg with the 1st battalion of Maryland Artillery. In late June of 1863 the 9th was reassigned to the Artillery Reserve of the north bound Army of the Potomac. They arrived at Gettysburg early on July 2nd with 132 men anticipating their first exposure to combat. At about 3:30 PM the 9th was moved forward as part of general effort to reinforce General Sickles exposed position near the Peach Orchard. The Battery moved into position under fire from Confederate artillery and finally were posted on what now is known as Wheatfield Road about 300 yard west of the Emmitsburg Road. From that spot they inflicted serious damage on Confederate units crossing the Rose Farm. Unseen to the 9th’s right, the Union line was collapsing from the attack of Barksdale’s brigade on the Peach Orchard. One by one the six Union batteries to the right were forced to retreat. Charles Reed, the bugler for the 9th, related "We were so intent upon our work that we noticed not when the other batterys left.” The scene depicted is that moment when it became apparent that the 9th was in jeopardy. The battery is presently firing to the South west and portions of Barksdale’s brigade are becoming visible to the front of The Sherfy Barn. The 9th was somehow able to extricate itself from this predicament and continued on further even more further peril just moments later. Just some of the feedback for Gettysburg Diographs.
