Civil War Diary of William Raleigh Clack, defending Vicksburg.

June 20, 2013

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

June 20 — Heavy cannonading commenced at daylight this morning and continued until 11 o’clock — While the bombs bursted and the pieces fall all around us and among us but hit none of our regiment. Thanks be to high heaven for our protection. The evening passed off tolerably quiet. WRC
