No. 6.

Report of Lieutenant Colonel Warren L. Lothrop, First Missouri Light Artillery, Chief of Artillery.

HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE MISSISSIPPI, OFFICE CHIEF OF ARTILLERY,

Corinth, Miss., September 28, 1862.

SIR: I have the honor to submit herewith a report of the part taken by the artillery under my command at the battle near iuka on the 19th instant:

General Rosecrans' army left Camp Clear Creek, near Corinth, on the 18th instant, encamped at Jacinto that night, and left the next morning for Iuka. When within about 2 miles of the town the enemy was discovered in force, and Captain Sands' battery (Eleventh Ohio Volunteers, under command of First Lieutenant Sears) was ordered to the front and near the right of the line of battle.
OR V17, Pt. 1, p. 80

There is a Clear Creek Church 5.9 miles SE from Corinth down US 72E and Co. Rd. 301

Jacinto is almost due South from the church.
