Report made by Major General J. Floyd King, C.S.A.; Chief of Artillery Head- quarters, Artillery Corps, Army of the West Virginia, dated Sept 18, 1862 : Re. Captain Timothy H. Stamps Co. B. Ringgold Battery, 13th Virginia Battalion of Artillery War Between the States. "I have the honor to report to the Brigadier General commanding the following report of the part the artillery enacted in the Battle of Charleston, commencing on the 10th and ending on the 13th. On nearing Fayettesville, a section of Capt. Otey's battery was thrown to the front with General Williams brigade. It was determined to advance our artillery to an eminence n earer the enemy's works. It could not be done without crossing a hill under heavy fire from the enemy canister, grape and musketry. General Williams at the head of a battalion of infantry and Captains Otey and Stamps batteries charged across the hill, across the ravine and occupied the desired position... within a short distance of the enemy's works. Here the fire was fierce. The courage and gallantry displayed by the officers and men on this occasion ren ders it unjust to make any distinction. But the command and courage of Lt. Walker of Otey's battery and the bravery and efficiency displayed by Captain Stamps in action was most cheering. The enemy retreated on the 13th at Char leston...and the enemy was overtaken. Captains Otey, Bryan and Stamps batter ies commanded the entire right flank of the enemy line. The Union army was driven from their post by accurate shooting."

Formed initially as Captain Timothy H. Stamps' Co. Va. Light Artillery, this battery was organized February 15, 1862. Though mustered in as Co. B, Fitzgerald's 1st Regt. C.S. Artillery, the command remained independent as the regiment never formed. After their initial introduction to field service protecing the salt mines and Virginia and Tennessee Railraod in Southwest Virginia, the battery became much more active under the 13th Battalion Virginia Light Artillery commanded by Lt. Col. John Floyd King. Assigned to Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia in the Petersburg trenches in 1864, this battalion held a key position under the command of Major Wade Hampton Gibbes, at the battle of the Crater on July 30, 1864. However, prior to their joining the battalion at Petersburg, the Ringold Battery was diverted to Cloyd's Mountain to help intercept Federal General George Crook in early May. There the battery fought its costliest battle losing two guns and several men including Lieutenant A. Whitlocke Hoge. After the Crater, the battalion remained in the trenches until March 1865 when the battalion was broken up by R.E. Lee. The Ringold Battery soon were forced to trade-in their field guns for muskets and joined the Otey Battery in defense of Richmond under their old commander John Floyd King. When Petersburg and Richmond were evacuated the three batteries moved west with Lee and fought at Sailor's Creek and Appomattox C.H. Many of those still in the ranks surrendered at Appomattox; the rest went to Lynchburg and Danville to sign paroles, or just make their way back as best they could to what was left of their homes and communities. All three batteries could lay claim to a sound war record and were honorable members of "The Long-Arm of Lee."
