(for a brief history of the 6th Kentucky, click here...)
The 6th was a gallant unit which fought in many of the most famous battles of the Civil War. Special thanks to Joe Reinhart for providing copies of muster rolls and information from the Adjutant General's Reports as well as taking the time to proofread my typing so this page could be created! Additionally, Joe also provided the additional historical information seen above. Sometime around Thanksgiving of 2000, Joe will be publishing a book about the 6th entitled The Boys Who Feared No Noise. This 500 page hardcover book will contain a full roster, generous endnotes and a full bibliography. More info on the 6th including a complete alphabetical roster of the unit (including those not from Henry County, KY) can be found at Joe's website at http://www.geocities.com/jreinhart_us/. Rice University also has more info on their website.
