My great grandfather Charles A. Gates served with the unit and I have done considerable research on his story based on his letters (in which he speaks very highly of Captain Pettit). Also, Stephen Dreher from Baldwinsville has done excellent research on the battery's history if you have not already made contact with him. Please send me your contact information and I'd be glad to share more. Steve Gates I would be interested in knowing more about your web site for the 1st NY Light Artillary.

The photo was reproduced in company with the article in the <em>Civil War Times Illustrated</em> magazine linked above. I don't recall the original source the author credited. Given it's in the public domain, you can use it any way you like. Please do post back here when your daughter's site is up, won't you? Hi Pettits!

Pettit. My husband and I are Civil War re-enactors and as a school project, my daughter is building a web-site for us as we portray 1st NY Light Artillery, Battery B. I would like to use this photo on website if we can. Jeanie Pettit I would like to know where you got your photo of Rufus D. Pettit.
