Civil War Diary of William Raleigh Clack, defending Vicksburg.

June 5, 2013

Civil War Diary kept by W. R. Clack, Co. B, 43rd Regiment, Tennessee Volunteers.

June 5 — Things are tolerable this morning — some shooting going on as usual on our lines. We are still held as reserve at the same place. 7 o’clock p.m. — I feel very unwell and have been all day. 9 o’clock — all is quiet tonight. Oh! Lord watch over us while we sleep tonight. W.R.C.
