American Civil War
Sixth Regiment Infantry
On the 23d of May, 1863, arriving before that stronghold the regiment was placed in the most advanced position, and maintained it until the surrender, on the 9th of July. During the seige of this formidable place, it participated in three desperate assaults upon its works. In the assault of the 27th of May, the regiment, under my command, led the division of General T. W. Sherman, and lost more than one-third of the men it had engaged, including Lieutenant Fred. T. Clark, who fell while gallantly leading company D to the charge. In this affair Captain Montgomery led a forlorn hope of 200 volunteers belonging to the regiment.
