American Civil War
Sixth Regiment Infantry
"The name of the lamented and gallant General Williams has already passed into history.
"The 6th Michigan fought rather by detachments than as a regiment, but deserves the fullest commendation for the gallant behavior of its officers and men. Companies A, B, and F, under command of Captain Cordon, receive special mention for the coolness and courage with which they supported and retook Brown's battery, routing the 4th Louisiana and capturing their colors, which the regiment has leave to send to its native State.
"Captain Charles E. Clark, acting lieutenant colonel 6th Michigan, prevented the enemy from flanking our right, bringing his command at the critical moment to the support of Nims's battery.
