Tenth Massachusetts Battery Association The Tenth Massachusetts Battery Association was originally formed in 1879 by the veterans of the Battery, as a fraternal organization. It has been revived in 1998 as a group formed for historical research into the people, events and artifacts of the Tenth Massachusetts Battery in the Civil War. This group is not affiliated with any other organization. The membership is open to any historic minded person. A President will be chosen, whose duties will include organizing meetings, mailings to the membership and recording all proceedings of the group. Any interested person may reply to cannoneerfour@hotmail.com.

The Tenth Massachusetts Battery Association today

Members of the Tenth Massachusetts Battery, N-SSA who had a strong interest in the original Battery revived the Association in 1998. We have tried to make the history live by gathering all the information and artifacts we could and make it available. Members have spoken to organizations, made pilgrimages to Gettysburg, Ream's Station and cemetaries and chased through reference materials to gather what knowledge we could. The historical record and roster of the Battery is availble on this website. We have been especially grateful to the decendants of Battery members who have contacted us and shared additional information with us.

Some of the information we have managed to collect on the Battery
