Regimental History
Sixth Infantry
MISSOURI
(3-YEARS)
Sixth Infantry. -- Cols., Peter E. Bland, James H. Blood,
Delos Van Deusen; Lieut.-Cols., James H. Blood, Ira Boutell, Delos Van Deusen Patrick G. Galvin; Majs., Mahlon Weber, John W. Fletcher, William D. Coleman, James S. Temple, Ira Boutell, Joseph S. Gage, B. H. Peterson, James C. McGinnis, Fred A. Bragg.
The regiment was raised at St. Louis during the months of May and June, 1861. On July 10 it was ordered to Pilot Knob; was engaged on duty at various points within the state from that time until April, 1862, when it was ordered to Corinth, Miss., arriving there in time to take part in the battles about that place in June.
At Corinth it was attached to Gen. Sherman's division and was engaged in the operations about Holly Springs, Miss.; Lagrange and Moscow, Tenn., and in Oct. 1862, was attached to the 15th army corps. It was in the battle of Chickasaw Bluffs, and suffered heavily in losses at Arkansas Post, where it distinguished itself by its bravery.
It was then in the campaign against Vicksburg and the actions with the Confederates under Gen. Johnston after Pemberton's surrender. In Sept. 1863, it embarked at Vicksburg for Memphis, and from that place marched across Tennessee to reinforce Gen. Rosecrans at Chattanooga, arriving there in time to participate in the engagements of Lookout Mountain and Missionary Ridge.
From Chattanooga it was ordered to Knoxville, but in the early part of the year 1864 returned to Larkinsville, Ala., where the majority of the men reenlisted and received their veteran furlough. Upon its return to the field it was with Sherman in his advance upon Atlanta, taking part in the engagements at Resaca, Dallas, Kennesaw Mountain, the battles in front of Atlanta and Jonesboro; then followed Hood to the Little River, near Gadsden, Ala., returned to Atlanta and marched with Sherman to the sea.
It was encamped near Fort McAllister until Jan., 1865, when it was moved on transports to Beaufort, S. C. It was then engaged in the march through the Carolinas, making a gallant charge in the battle of Bentonville, where it drove back the enemy and held the ground thus gained until it could be reinforced.
After Johnston's surrender the regiment went to Washington and participated in the grand review. In June it was ordered to Little Rock, Ark. where it remained until Aug. 17, 1865, when the order for muster out was received.
It then returned to St. Louis and on the 23rd the men were paid off and discharged, after four years and two months of service. The adjutant-general says of this regiment in his report for 1865: "None of the Missouri regiments has done more honor to the service, nor will any hold a higher place in the history of the war."
