John D. Billings (1842-1933) served in the Civil War in the Tenth Massachusetts Light Artillery Battery. He went on to compose two separate accounts of his time with the battery. One title, Hardtack and Coffee, focuses on the daily events of army life. In the preface he states that his purpose was to „record comprehensively army life in detail”. The second book Billings wrote was an official history of the Tenth Massachusetts Light Artillery Battery, also known as Sleeper”s Battery for its Captain, Jacob Henry Sleeper.
