The Chicago Board of Trade Battery was an artillery battery that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War.
The Chicago Board of Trade Battery was mustered into service at Chicago, Illinois, on August 1, 1862. It was sponsored by the Chicago Board of Trade, from which the battery took its name.[1]
In March 1863, the battery changed from mounted field artillery to "flying" horse artillery, the only battery of flying artillery in the Union Western armies.[2] The battery was mustered out on June 30, 1865, in Chicago.[2]
During its term of service, the battery lost 10 enlisted men killed in action or died of their wounds and 9 enlisted men who died of disease, for a total of 19 fatalities.[3]
