Re: Hughey's Battery had rifles.

I think you stopped reading too early...

Hughey's Battery which was organized after Shoups battery was broked up, had 3 inch rifless. The military convention between Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith and Union General Edward Canby for the surrender of the troops and public property in the Trans-Mississippi Department was dated May 26, 1865, however, it took awhile for parole commissioners to be appointed and for public property to be accounted for. A final report of field artillery which was part of the accounting process, was completed on June 1, 1865. According to the final accounting, at the time of the surrender, the battery was armed with two x 3-in. rifles; and two x 12-pounder field howitzers. The final report lists the four guns as being near Camden, Arkansas at the Surrender. United States. War Dept..
