Whakaotihia te rerenga e whai ake nei: I te Poutu-te-rangi 10, 1862, i uru atu a Battery E & G, 1st U.S. Artillery ki a Major General George B. McClellan's Army of the Potomac i a ia e anga ana ki te Peninsula Campaign i te Peninsula o York-James Peninsula o Virginia. I honoa te papahiko ki te Artillery Reserve i raro i a Colonel Henry Jackson Hunt. I a ia e haere ana ma te moana ka tae ki Fortress Monroe, ka uru atu a Battery E & G ki te Siege o Yorktown, ka neke ki te hauauru me te Ope o te Potomac ki te awa o Chickahominy. Whai muri i te
I te Pakanga o Fair Oaks, i noho te papahiko ki te Bridge Bridge Bridge i te taha o te tari matua o McClellan i te teihana Savage tae noa ki te 29 o Pipiri 1862. Whai muri i te Hoia o Northern Virginia a General Robert E. Lee i whakakorikori i te maia o McClellan me te raupapa o nga whiu nui e whakatuwhera ana i nga Pakanga o nga Ra e whitu i &lt;a href="Battle%20of%20Beaver%20Dam%20Creek"&gt;Beaver Dam Creek/Mechanicsville&lt;/a&gt; me Gaines' Mill, i whakahau te rangatira o te Uniana i tana V Corps toto (i te raki o Chickahominy) kia hoki ki te tonga o te awa ka whai i te toenga o te ope taua o te Potomac i runga i te hokinga ki te ahuru o nga pareparenga o te awa o James tata ki Harrison's Landing. I whakahaeretia tenei whakawhitinga nui mai i te Pipiri 29 ki te 30, 1862.
