Captain Peter Simonson was a rising star among the young officers of the Army of the Cumberland and his 5th Indiana Battery was considered one of the best. Through their courage and skill, they had made a reputation across many bloody fields from Kentucky to Tennessee and now, Georgia. We invite you to come hear the story of Captain Simonson and his men and experience how a cannon was fired during the Battle of Chickamauga.
