Battery L, "Rourke's Battery " like battery C, was never
reported in detail by the adjutant-general. Its service was
chiefly in Virginia with Gen. B. F. Kelley's command and
Porter's division, though on Sept. 19, 1862, it was
transferred to the Department of the Ohio for a short time.
It then returned to Virginia and took part in the Mine Run
campaign and the operations in the Shenandoah Valley.
