American Civil War
Sixth Regiment Infantry
Upon the approach of the Union force they hurriedly dispersed, leaving considerable ammunition and small arms. The Union force, after destroying the works, returned to Baltimore, arriving there on December 8th.
While the regiment lay in Baltimore it was given by the Union ladies of that city a handsome silk U. S. flag. It was presented on behalf of the donors by a prominent lawyer of Baltimore, and a proper response was made by Colonel Curtenius.
The 6th left Baltimore February 22d, 1862, by steamers for Fortress Monroe, arriving there next day, encamped at Newport News.
