SIXTH INFANTRY
(Three Years)

Sixth Infantry.--Cols., William Crooks, John T. Averill;
Lieut.-Cols., John T. Averill, Hiram P. Grant; Majs., Robert N.
McLaren, Hiram S. Bailey. This regiment was organized at Fort
Snelling in the summer of 1862. Capt. A. D. Nelson was first
selected as colonel of the regiment, but as he was a West
Pointer and had been in the service 23 years, the conditions
placing him under a civilian, Col. H. H. Sibley, was not to his
taste and he resigned, William Crooks being appointed in his
stead. The regiment was mustered in by companies. Four
companies were ordered to Fort Ridgely on receipt of the news
of the Indian uprising and Lieut.-Col. Averill took command.
Col. Crooks went to St. Peter to complete the organization of
the regiment. Such force as was ready, including several
companies of the 6th regiment and such civilians as would join,
was started for Fort Ridgely. Co. A was detached as a burial
party, 2 volunteers from each of the other companies assisting
together with a detachment of citizen cavalry. The burial
party went into camp at Birch Coolie and was attacked by 500
Indians about 4 o'clock next morning. The engagement was brisk
until 10 o'clock, when the Indians ceased firing. The attack
was renewed and on the following morning Col. Sibley and Col.
McPhaill came to the rescue, using artillery with good effect
in driving away the Indians. Twenty-three were killed, 45
wounded, and all the horses (87) had been killed. The regiment
was in the battle at Wood Lake, part being in reserve to defend
the rear of the camp. Cos. A and F took position on a ridge
overlooking a ravine in which many Indians were concealed and
assisted materially in driving the enemy from the field with
heavy loss. Cos. A, B, F and G were mustered in Oct. 1, C,
Oct. 3, D, Sept. 29, E, Oct. 5, H, Nov. 20, I, Oct. 4, K, Oct.
10, all at Camp Release except H, which was mustered in at Fort
Snelling. A force of Indians opposed to Little Crow having
surrendered, Cos. D and F were detailed to guard them to Yellow
Medicine and Co. G formed part of a detachment sent out to
scour the country. Later Cos. A, B, G, H and K were stationed
at Fort Snelling; C, F and I at Glencoe; D at Forest City and E
at Kingston. In February A, G and K were sent to Glencoe: B to
Forest City; C, D, F and I to Fort Snelling; E to Clearwater
and H to Kingston. In April the regiment assembled at Camp
Pope. In June it marched towards Devil's Lake, reached Camp
Atchison July 18, where a temporary camp was established and
Cos. C and G were left as guard, with the sick and feeble in
their care. The remainder of the regiment was in the
engagements at Big Hills, Dak., Stony Lake and at the Missouri
river where the enemy's camp equipage was captured and
destroyed. The regiment returned to Fort Snelling Sept. 12,
and was detached by companies for the winter of 1862-63 to
various points. Cos. D, E, and H were designated to accompany
an expedition to Fort Thompson, where the captured Indians were
to be located and supplies furnished. They reached the fort
Dec. 2 and the return trip was made on half rations in bitter
cold weather, through deep snow, the detachment reaching
headquarters about Jan. 1, 1864, Capt. Whitney in command, was
court martialed on a charge of disobedience of orders,
preferred by Gen. Sully, because he declined to go into camp at
Fort Randall, en route, but the captain was acquitted, being
under Gen. Sibley's command at the time. After long and
persistent efforts the regiment was ordered South. It left the
state on June 14, 1863, and went to Helena, Ark., after having
been assigned to the 1st brigade, 1st division, 2nd army corps.
The reason for the change is not known, but it was a bitter
disappointment to be compelled to take up garrison duty after
endeavoring for two years to get to the front. The results of
forcing a regiment from the extreme north to such a disease-
producing climate and keeping it there inactive was seen too
late. The regiment landed June 23, 940 strong, and on July 31,
17 officers and 445 men were on the sick list; a month later 14
officers and 487 men were sick; by the last of September 16
officers and 638 men reported sick; and during these three
months 54 died of disease. So the record continued, the
regiment diminishing in numbers as the ill were ordered north.
At one time, for two weeks, but 26 men reported for duty, many
being ill but not in hospital. Six hundred were sent north to
hospitals and in October the regiment was ordered to St. Louis,
where it performed provost guard duty from Nov. 11, 1864, to
Jan. 29, 1865. It then was sent to New Orleans and in March to
Chalmette, where it was assigned to the 2nd brigade, 2nd
division, 16th army corps. It landed at Dauphin island on the
8th, was in sharp skirmishing about Fort Blakely, and with its
corps captured the fort on the 9th, receiving high
commendations for its conduct. It then moved to Montgomery,
Ala., where it remained until July, and was mustered out at
Fort Snelling Aug. 19, 1865.
