In The War of the Rebellion: a Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies I came across a description that puzzled me. On page 181, about 2/3's of the way down, there is a listing for a captured gun in Columbia, SC by Sherman's troops described only as (one) "Repeating battery (caliber 1 inch)". I'm not having any success as finding out what this was. I do have a friend in Columbia that found a 1-inch "minie ball" in a cemetery there, but he's not sure what it's from either other than, in his words, a repeating cannon. Anyone have a guess?
