Military History of the First Kansas Volunteer Battery
No written history of this Battery having been furnished to the Adjutant General, and the data in his possession being so incomplete as to preclude the possibility of an extended sketch of the services of this excellent organization, his remarks in relation thereto must necessarily be brief.
Norman Allen, who was an editor of the Lawrence Republican, which was destroyed in Quantrill raid, served as a captain in the 1st Kansas Volunteer Battery. Asaph Allen Jr., served as a captain in the 9th Kansas Volunteer Cavalry.
About the 9th of July, 1863, the gallant commander of this battery–Captain Norman Allen–was stricken down with disease and died. The command then devolved upon Lieut. Taylor. Directly succeeding this they were ordered to Indiana, and took an active part in capturing Morgan's guerrilla band then on their celebrated raid through that State. After this they were ordered to St. Louis, and subsequently to Columbus, KY. They served with distinction in all the principal actions in which the armies of the Tennessee and the Mississippi were engaged, and their numbers were greatly reduced by the casualties of war and by disease.
