notes.--Originally a three months regiment, but reorganized for the three years service on September 20, 1861.
It moved into
Kentucky on the same day, being the first body of troops to enter that State from the
North.
Having been assigned to
Rousseau's Brigade of
McCook's Division, it remained in
Kentucky until March, 1862, when it marched to
Pittsburg Landing, Tenn., arriving there in time to participate in the second day's
battle at Shiloh, where it rendered effective service.
Its loss in this, its first battle, was 4 killed, 36 wounded, and 2 missing. The regiment fought next at
Stone's River,--then in
Johnson's (1st) Division of
McCook's Corps,
Colonel Baldwin commanding the brigade, and
Lieutenant-Colonel Tripp the regiment; its casualties on that field were 17 killed, 50 wounded, and 37 missing. The regiment remained at
Murfreesboro until June, 1863, when it marched with
Rosecrans on his advance to
Chattanooga and successful occupation of that place.
Colonel Baldwin was killed at
Chickamauga while in command of the brigade, the regiment losing there 13 killed, 116 wounded, and 31 missing. Upon the reorganization of the Army of the Cumberland in October, 1863, it became a part of
Hazen's (2d) Brigade,
Wood's (3d) Division, Fourth Corps, in which command it took part in the storming of
Missionary Ridge, where it sustained a heavy loss (76) in proportion to the small number engaged.
The Sixth was engaged in all the battles of the Fourth Corps during the
Atlanta campaign, its hardest fighting occurring at Pickett's Mills, where it again suffered a severe percentage of loss.
After the
Atlanta campaign the regiment was mustered out on September 22, 1864, and the recruits were transferred to the Sixty-eighth Regiment.
