American Civil War
Sixth Regiment Infantry
From Morganzia it proceeded to Vicksburg, Miss., where it served with the engineer brigade. Leaving Vicksburg July 23 it moved to the mouth of the White river, and thence to St. Charles, Ark., where it was attached to a regiment of infantry. A detachment of the regiment, while on a transport en route from Vicksburg to White river, was attacked near Ashton, Ark., on the 24th by a rebel battery, losing two killed and a number wounded. Remaining but a short time at St. Charles, the regiment again returned to
Morganzia where for a time it was employed as engineers, but soon after its arrival it was ordered to report to the chief of artillery, and again returned to duty as heavy artillery.
