6th Regiment Infantry also called "Wilson's Zouaves" was organized at New York City on May 25, 1861. The Regiment was composed of 5 initial companies of A, B, C, and D. Companies E, F, G, H, I, and K were added May 25, 1861. It was made up primarily of gang members, ex-cons, and criminals from the Bowery section of New York City. Rumor had it that a man had to prove he'd served time in jail before he was allowed to join. == Santa Rosa Island == From June 15 through June 23, 1861, the regiment left New York state and moved to Santa Rosa Island, Florida where they were attached to: * Santa Rosa Island, District of Florida, Department of the South, to May 1862. * Arnold's Brigade, District of Pensacola, Florida, Department of the South, to September 1862. *Wilson's Brigade, District of West Florida, Department of the Gulf, to November 1862. * Grover's Division, Department of the Gulf, to January 1863. * 1st Brigade, 4th Division, 19th Army Corps, Dept. of the Gulf, to June 1863. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「6th New York Volunteer Infantry」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
