BURROUGHS' BATTERY,Tennessee Light Artillery,CSA

"Every man should endeavor to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late. It means the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, and our maimed veterans as fit objects for derision. . ."

The prophetic words of Major General Patrick R. Cleburne, CSA
(Killed In Action at the Battle of Franklin, Tennessee, November 30, 1864)

US VOLUNTEERS

Burroughs Battery is a Living History and Civil War reenactment group with members in East Tennessee and the surrounding area. We are one of only a few horse drawn artillery units in the region.

Our mission is to honor the gallant men of both sides who sacrificed so much for what they believed, and to impart our knowledge of the War Between The States to the public at large, and hope that anyone who comes to this site, or attends a reenactment, will come away with a better understanding of the conflict that really made us one nation.

Although our unit is primarily a Confederate company, to honor the Unionists of East Tennessee the battery also portrays Battery E, 1st Tennessee Light Artillery Battalion, United States Volunteers. With equal enthusiasm!!

Burroughs Battery is a family oriented group and welcomes new members at any time.

Contact: Burroughs Battery
