Fort Stanwix National Monument


Artillery was a specialist discipline, requiring knowledge of math and use of measuring tools to calculate trajectories of cannon and mortar. Artillery soldiers therefore received better pay and living conditions than regular soldiers, although their job was also far more dangerous.

The artillery companies sent to the fort were often short of men - common soldiers had to be drafted to supplement the cannon crews, who would have trained them in the necessary skills.

"As Capt. Lieut: Savage of Artillery station?d at this post with a Detachment of Capt. Walkers Company Has Cloathing in his Custody drawn out of Publick Stores for said Company, the Commanding Officer Orders that said Company does not again appear on the Parade without being dressed in the Uniform which is sent for the use of said Company."
? ? ? Col. Commandant Peter Gansevoort, Garrison Orders, December 7th, 1777
