The Sergeants and Lieutenants–Commanders of the Piece

Sergeants and Lieutenants were the direct leaders of the artillery. They provided daily management and leadership. They directly commanded the artillery piece in battle and made most of the technical and tactical decisions. Occasionally, if marked for preferment, they served on staffs as adjutants and aides. A few career examples of their particular circumstances will help explore the development of the Continental artillery as an organization during the war. The following biographies chart the careers of three lieutenants and two sergeants. The few biographies here are not a complete representative sample, but nonetheless provide a window into the life of junior leaders, particularly into the 2nd and 3rd Artillery Regiments.
