FIRST COMPANY NEW HAMPSH1RE VOLUNTEER HEAVY ARTILLERY.(THREE YEARS.) By CHARLES H. LONG, late Captain First Company and Colonel First Regiment New Hampshire Volunteer Heavy Artillery. IN April, 1863, the War Department granted special authority to the governor of New Hampshire to raise a company of heavy artillery to garrison the defenses of Portsmouth harbor, and on the 17th of that month Charles H. Long, of Claremont, was commissioned captain of it. The organization was completed and the company mustered into the United States service on the 22d of July, 1863, and was stationed at Fort Constitution. It performed garrison duty there until May 6, 1864, when, under orders of Major-General Dix, the company reported to General Auger, commanding the Department of Washington, D.C., and was assigned to duty in the defenses of that city. It furnished men for garrison duty at Forts Slocum, Stevens, Totten, and Sumner, and Batteries Parrott, Cameron, Kendall, and Vermont, and took part in defeating Early in his raid on Washington, in July, 1864, Captain Long being in command of a provisional battalion of four hundred men. On or about September 15, 1864, the company became Company A, of the First Regiment New Hampshire Volunteer Heavy Artillery. In November, 1864, this company was ordered back to the defenses of Portsmouth harbor, under command of Capt. Benjamin F. Wells, where it remained, doing garrison duty at Fort Constitution, until September 11, 1865, when it was mustered out of the service.
