Formed in 1801 to protect sea captains against attack from the
British navy and Barbary Pirates, the Providence Marine Corps of
Artillery remains one of the most famed regiments in the U.S. army.
It distinguished itself during the War of 1812, the Dorr Rebellion,
and in nearly every major engagement of the Civil War. After
assuming the identity of the 103rd Field Artillery Regiment of the
Rhode Island National Guard, the unit battled amid the carnage of
the Western Front in World War I, fought the enemy in the
mosquito-infested South Pacific islands during World War II, and
weathered the scorching Iraq deserts in the twenty-first century.
Based on extensive primary research and interviews with veterans of
the corps, this engaging narrative offers an insider's look at the
illustrious regiment in its first full history.
