Dear Tamra,

The battle of Baker's Creek (as it was known by Confederate forces) is better known as the battle of Champion's Hill and was the largest non-siege action of the Vicksburg Campaign in Mississippi.

Here is a link to an article from the magazine, America's Civil War that should give you a great deal of info about this battle.

Literal Hill of Death

What unit was your ancestor in?
