Battle of Island No 10, MO
Burnside’s Expedition to North Carolina
Peninsula Campaign
Island No 10 Campaign
Shiloh Campaign
Sibley’s Operations in New Mexico
USA. The US Congress made an important resolution regarding rank and command in the US Army and US Volunteers: “… whenever military operations may require the presence of two or more officers of the same grade in the same field or department. the President may assign the command of the forces in such field or department without regard to seniority or rank“. Although contrary to strict tradition and protocol, this provision gave the President greater flexibility in managing assignments to the high command of the Union armies.
California. Skirmish at Table Bluff.
Florida. USS Pursuit, Acting Lieutenant Cate, captured the sloop Lafayette at St Joseph’s Bay with a cargo of cotton.
Louisiana. The USS J P Jackson, Acting Lieutenant Selim E Woodworth, captured the steamer P C Wallis near New Orleans with a cargo of turpentine, pitch, rosin, and oil.
Mississippi. Incident at Greenwood.
Mississippi. CSS Carondelet, Lieutenant Washington Gwathmey, with CSS Pamlico, and CSS Oregon, engaged the gunboats USS J P Jackson, USS New London, and USS Hatteras. The Union gunboats were protecting the steamer Lewis, which was landing 1,200 men at Pass Christian to destroy a Confederate camp.
Missouri. Union reconnaissance to Cape Girardeau, Dallas, Jackson, and Whitewater ended.
Missouri. Incident at Doniphan.
Island No 10, Missouri. The USS Carondelet, Commander Henry Walke, weighed anchor at New Madrid on a night with the moon concealed by clouds. The aim was to run past the Confederate batteries at Island No 10. Work had been undertaken for a week to protect and strengthen the vessel with cordwood piled around the boilers, extra deck planking, and anchor chains trailing along the deck. An 11-inch hawser was wrapped around the pilot house and a coal barge was lashed alongside. For fear of capture, the crew was armed with revolvers and cutlasses, while volunteer sharpshooters manned the decks. The ship was prepared to be scuttled rather than fall into enemy hands. All lights were extinguished save for one in the engine room to avoid detection.
At 10 pm the ship set out with muffled engine just as a fierce thunderstorm began. When USS Carondelet approached the Confederate Battery No 2 on Island No 10 the flue caught fire from sparks. Confederate sentries spotted the flames and sounded the alarm. Walke shouted to his pilot, William Hoel, for “full speed.” Hoel was an experienced pilot on this stretch of the river, and with the help of a boatswain’s mate stationed on the forecastle, steered the craft past the Island. The Confederate gunners were unable to depress all of their guns to train on the ship, allowing it to pass by unharmed although one shot hit the barge alongside and another was found later buried in a bale of hay. The fierce thunderstorm also helped to mask the gunboat’s progress.
USS Carondelet arrived unharmed at New Madrid the following morning before dawn, greeted by cheers from Major-General John Pope’s army. This exploit marked the introduction of a new tactic in warfare. The use of steam for driving ships meant that they no longer had to batter fixed forts into submission before trying a highly dangerous attempt to pass them. The tactic became commonplace during the war and the perceived value of fixed fortifications to prevent naval and riverine operations was seriously diminished.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Lawrenceburg involving Union Colonel Milo Smith Hascall (17th Indiana Infantry).
Tennessee. Skirmishes at Pittsburg Landing, Adamsville, and Crump’s Landing.
Tennessee. Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant was injured when his horse fell and pinned him underneath. He went to convalesce at Savannah and was unable to move without the aid of crutches.
Tennessee. The Confederate march from Corinth continued to be beset by delays caused by bad weather and confusion. Major-General Braxton Bragg’s Corps reached Monterey at midday, where it should have already camped overnight. One of Bragg’s divisions got completely lost. Brigadier-General John Cabell Breckinridge’s Corps was out of communication with headquarters and its location could not be determined. Major-General Leonidas Polk and Major-General William Joseph Hardee were making forced marches with their two Corps but they were held up at Mickey’s while Bragg’s column passed across their route and blocked their progress. Extreme thunderstorms spoiled the deployment and it was evident that it was impossible to consider an attack at dawn as had been planned.
Virginia. Skirmishes at Cockletown, Stafford Court House, Howard’s Mill, Young’s Mill, and Great Bethel.
Virginia. The Union Department of the Rappahannock and the Department of the Shenandoah were established, following the earlier creation of the Mountain Department. This was a direct and fatal consequence of aggressive Confederate action in the Shenandoah Valley. This further division of command in Northern Virginia required the three Departments to receive instructions directly from the War Department in Washington and not from Major-General George Brinton McClellan, who was now at Fortress Monroe.
This separation of command responsibility, intended to protect the capital, actually played into the hands of the Confederates, who began diversionary operations in the Shenandoah Valley. The diversion of reinforcements from the Union peninsula campaign to provide field forces for the new Departments also weakened the numerical advantage that Major-General George Brinton McClellan was relying on for his advance toward Richmond.
McClellan suddenly found that he was also deprived of the use of 12,000 men in the Fortress Monroe garrison and he was further discouraged by the fact that Major-General Irvin McDowell’s I Corps (now renamed the Department of the Rappahannock) was being withheld indefinitely for the defence of Washington. That meant it could not be sent as planned to envelop the Yorktown positions by an overland advance from the north. McDowell had been earmarked by McClellan to outflank the Confederate line by landings further up the York River. To emphasise this, the Military District of Washington itself was subordinated to McDowell’s new Department. Although the title was officially discontinued, the field force of the Department of the Rappahannock was renamed again later as I Corps (Potomac).
The division of Brigadier-General Louis Blenker, officially, 3rd Division of II Corps, had already been withheld in March and was allocated to the Mountain Department. The Union V Corps of Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks had been detached from the direct command of the Army of the Potomac on 15 March 1862 and this became the field force of the Department of the Shenandoah, with its two divisions under Brigadier-General Alpheus Starkey Williams and Brigadier-General James Shields. The 3rd Division of Brigadier-General John Sedgwick had already left the Shenandoah and never rejoined V Corps. After arriving at Fortress Monroe, it was incorporated into the Army of the Potomac. Banks’ V Corps (Potomac) was discontinued.
McClellan’s computation of his strength and the forces left to protect the capital were undermined by the Military Governor of Washington, Brigadier-General James Samuel Wadsworth. Wadsworth mistakenly recalculated the force available to defend the capital and complained to President Abraham Lincoln that he was left with only 29,000 men instead of the 40,000 computed and promised by McClellan as the minimum essential garrison. These calculations were exchanged between Lincoln and McClellan with increasing animosity and frustration, as McClellan tried to prove had made adequate provision for the capital’s defence and Lincoln sought to show that he had not.
Virginia. Union Major-General George Brinton McClellan’s Army of the Potomac started its advance up the Yorktown Peninsula towards Richmond. While the Confederate ironclad warship CSS Virginia remained at Norfolk, the US Navy was unable or unwilling to transport McClellan’s forces any further up the James River. The US Navy also did not believe it was possible to silence the Confederate water batteries at Yorktown and Gloucester Point so that made it impossible for him to send troops up the York River to disembark at West Point and restricted his direction of advance.
McClellan was obliged to proceed overland from the area around Fortress Monroe towards Yorktown. As he advanced, he discovered that his maps were inaccurate and that the deliberately-flooded Warwick River was much more of an obstacle than anticipated. Confederate Major-General John Bankhead Magruder had constructed a defensive line (the “Warwick Line”) from Yorktown on the York River, running behind the Warwick River to Mulberry Point on the James River. Magruder even took advantage of the remnants of trenches originally dug by Cornwallis in 1781. Magruder could not adequately man the fourteen miles of defensive works with his available force so he began to construct more defences ten miles to the rear near Williamsburg in case he should be forced to retreat. At Williamsburg, a dozen small redoubts were clustered around a larger star-shaped work christened Fort Magruder.
Magruder also compensated for his numerical weakness by using a range of ploys that displayed his troops in theatrical ways to suggest they were far greater in number than they really were. These stunts helped to convince the Union commanders that they faced a large and well-fortified enemy. Between 24 March and 4 April Confederate General Robert Edward Lee had switched three of General Joseph Eggleston Johnston’s six divisions from his new lines on the Rapidan to the Peninsula to reinforce Magruder. This reinforcement now gave Magruder enough men to extend his line to cover most of the threatened front.
McClellan’s plan called for Major-General Samuel Peter Heintzelman’s III Corps to fix the Confederate troops in their trenches near the York River, while the IV Corps under Brigadier-General Erasmus Darwin Keyes enveloped the Confederate right, broke past them, and cut off the Confederate lines of communication. McClellan and his staff, ignorant of the extent of Magruder’s line, assumed that the Confederates were concentrated only in the immediate vicinity of Yorktown.
Lee was awaiting greater certainty about Union intentions before ordering Johnston to shift the rest of his army from the direct line of advance towards the peninsula east of Richmond. Johnston now had just 23,000 men on the Rapidan while Magruder had increased his force to 31,500 men, either in place or on their way. Johnston would soon need very soon to be committed fully to one or other of these sectors. Lee also ordered the construction of a third defensive line within two miles of Richmond that anchored its right on the James River and its left flank on the impassable Chickahominy River.
Virginia. Confederate Brigadier-General James Ewell Brown Stuart, on outpost duty north of the Rappahannock River, reported the continuing movement of substantial numbers of Union transports from Washington DC.
