Photographic Incidents of the War. No. 266. View at Lossers Barn where the Ninth Massachusetts Battery was cut up. [Gardner Co. stereo card]
Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 266. In Trossels Barnyard, Gettysburg. The 9th Massachusetts Battery of Light Artillery were stationed in the yard and barnyard at Trossels place. Some idea of the awful tide of battle which they met there can be inferred from the fact that of the 88 horses of their battery, 65 were killed. This view shows where one of their guns stood. This battery did most valiant service here that day. They held the fearful charge in check until our lines could be re-formed to successfully meet and repel the attack.
