Civil War Diary of William Raleigh Clack, defending Vicksburg.

June 16, 2013

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

June 16 — Things are going on here this morning as usual. No change in anything as I can see. 7 o’clock p.m. — Warm firing has been kept up all day. I lie down again to rest with the ethereal blue for my covering, and pray the Lord to watch over me while I sleep. W. R. Clack
