Civil War Diary of William Raleigh Clack, defending Vicksburg.

June 15, 2013

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

June 15 — Sharp shooting as usual today. It has the appearance of rain this morning. All the convalesce that are able have come out from the hospital by order of the Brig. surgeon. I judge from this that a heavy attack is expected upon our line. It is reported that the Yankees are receiving heavy reinforcements. 7 o’clock p.m. — This day passed off tolerably quiet. We wait impatiently for the hour of our deliverance. May God speed the hour.
