A Brief History on Captain Anderson and the Battery
Captain Anderson was born near Hawkinsville, October 6, 1837, and died May 27, 1903. He was reared and educated in Pulaski County. He answered the call of the State in July, 1861, and organized a company of artillery known as Anderson's Battery. He was soon elected captain, a rank in which he proved himself a skillful and able officer. His bride, Agnes Merritt, who he married while on furlough, 
went with him to Tennessee, and from her carriage on Missionary Ridge saw Captain Anderson lead his men into the Battle of Lookout. He was wounded  three times, but not seriously, at New Hope Church, at Chickamauga, and at Nickjack Ridge, but was seldom absent from his command. Captain Anderson  and his battery took an active part in fighting with Sherman's army through Georgia, having two horses shot from under him at Griswoldville. After the surrender, Anderson's Battery was not far from Sherman's headquarters. One morning Captain Anderson dressed in his best old Gray uniform, mounted his best horse, and rode up and sought an interview with General Sherman. "Sir," he said, "I have four wagons and sixteen mules that belong to the United States Government. I have come to ask you for these for my men." When he left, the mules and wagons were his. He then led his little company back to the banks of the Ocmulgee River, and to the same spot where they were organized. The mules and wagons were sold at public outcry, each receiving his equal share, and they then left for their home.
