American Civil War
Sixth Regiment Infantry
The battle raged furiously for two hours, during which the rebel right was advanced, driving back the 14th Maine, pillaging and burning its camp; and while four successive assaults were unsuccessfully made on our front, General Clark made a resolute effort to flank and establish himself in rear. General Williams, anticipating this movement, had placed a battery, supported by two regiments, to resist it; and the rebels were repulsed with considerable loss. "
