Col. S. D. Lee’s Artillery Battalion
12 pieces
Confederate Artillery on Hauser Ridge
Raine’s battery was positioned on Hauser Ridge facing East. Hauser Ridge was outside the field of fire for Federal batteries situated on the far side of Antietam Creek.
The batteries of Poague and Brockenbrough withdrew at around 6.30am and made their way to Hauser Ridge.
7 pieces
Poague’s battery began the day by taking two howitzers from Raine’s battery and placed them just in front of Grigsby’s line about 35 yards west of the Hagerstown Pike. Here it engaged with Union batteries of Matthews and Thompson. As Gibbon’s line advanced through the corn, Poague withdrew to A. Poffenberger farm, ending up on Hauser Ridge. Raine had already lined up the remaining pieces on Hauser Ridge.
Patterson’s battery was from the Reserve Artillery and continued S.D. Lee’s artillery line close to the Hagerstown Pike. Welker refers to 6 howitzers however I have gone with the armament listed in Johnson & Anderson.
