My GG Grandfather and his two brothers ( Charles M., Mathew T. and Isiah Moore) served in Co.B ( orig. Co A.from Henry County)of the 6th from its organization to the end. I have done a good bit of research on this hardfighting regiment's service at Antietam ; However, I'm asking for your opinions on the best books to read concerning details of their (the 6th) service at Seven Days,Chancellorsville ( Jackson's flank attack),2nd Manassas , Spotsylvania CH and Petersburg.I am aware of the web page for the 6th : Jimmy has done a nice job with that site as has Jim Martin with this site and his Texas Board.
By the way, there is going to be a replacement and rededication of the 6th's plaque at "Bloody Lane" at Antietam this fall. See the 6th's web page if you are interested in the ceremony...I'm going !!
I'd appreciate your suggestions on the ref. books and would also welcome discussions from other descendants of members of the 6th.or of other regiments in Rode's Brigade . Regards, Craig Morin
