- Comment: If none of these are deemed interesting, there's 19kb of readable prose in the article. I'm sure I can come up with others.

- Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
- Template:Ping - For the first hook, it's "In the Fifth Missouri's sector, the dug-in defenders behind the creek bank blasted away at targets only ten feet distant". For the first alt (this is part of a quote from a diary of a 5th Missouri soldier in the context of Vicksburg) "and after a sharp conflict drove back the foe with deadly slaughter". For the other alt, "At the regiment's initial muster [September 1, 1862] it counted 618 men", "a company of 100 exchanged prisoners, all Missourians, joined the regiment" and "276 regimental soldiers received paroles following the surrender [July 4, 1863]".
