Go to April 8 1862

Florida. Skirmish at St Andrews Bay involving the Confederate Marianna Dragoons (Captain R S Smith).

Louisiana. After several previous failed attempts, USS Pensacola, Captain Henry W Morris, and USS Mississippi. Captain Melancton Smith, successfully crossed the bar at Head of Passes and entered the Mississippi River. These two sloops were the heaviest vessels ever to enter the river and reinforced the Union operations against New Orleans.

Island No 10, Missouri. During the night, USS Pittsburg under Lieutenant Egbert Thompson USN ran past the batteries at Island No 10 and joined USS Carondelet at New Madrid in the morning. They scattered the Confederate flotilla of small boats, destroyed the batteries at Watson’s Landing and Point Pleasant, and then moved back to protect Union Major-General John Pope’s army as it was ferried across the Mississippi. When this was accomplished the transports carried the first four regiments across and the landings proceeded without opposition. Within an hour the Union landing force had taken the Tiptonville Road and cut the Confederate line of retreat from the fortifications at Island No 10. The major part of Pope’s army, which now numbered nearly 25,000 men, began to cross to the Tennessee shore nearer the fort.
Confederate Brigadier-General William Whann Mackall’s garrison abandoned the fortifications and headed south for Tiptonville with the main body of Pope’s army pursuing them from the rear. Their movement was detected by spies who gave the information to Pope. Pope then diverted his soldiers to Tiptonville and the operation became a race rather than a battle. Union Colonel James Dada Morgan’s brigade marched past Tiptonville on the river (eastern) side and occupied the southern end of the town while Colonel Gilbert W Cumming’s brigade moved in from the north. Outnumbered and outgunned, Confederate Brigadier-General William Whann Mackall stopped on the western outskirts of Tiptonville during the evening. A few brief rearguard actions were attempted but the demoralised Confederates could not stand their ground. Mackall was hemmed in by Reelfoot Lake to the west.

CSS Red Rover

Missouri. After the surrender of Island No 10, USS Mound City, Commander Augustus H Kiley, seized the Con­federate ship Red Rover, which had been damaged by mortar fire. After temporary repairs, Red Rover was moved to Cairo where she was converted into the US Navy’s first hospital ship and joined the river fleet on 10 June 1862. Red Rover was officially transferred to the Navy on 1 October 1862 and commissioned 26 December 1862. Sisters of the Holy Cross volunteered to serve on board as nurses and became the pioneers of the US Navy Nurse Corps.

North Carolina. Union expedition to Elizabeth City began with the 6th New Hampshire Infantry (Lieutenant-Colonel Griffin) being transported by the USS Ceres, USS Eagle, USS Putnam, and USS Virginia.

North Carolina. Skirmish at Newport when Confederate Captain John Boothe attacked Union pickets on the Cedar Point Road commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel James Wilson.

North Carolina. Skirmish at Foy’s Plantation.

Tennessee. Pittinger’s Raid began on the Georgia State Railroad between Chattanooga and Marietta, Georgia, by detachments of Union 2^nd Ohio Infantry, 21^st Ohio Infantry, and 33^rd Ohio Infantry. Union Major-General Ormsby McKnight Mitchel met James J Andrews, who was a successful spy and smuggler for the Union side, and asked him to recruit volunteers for a daring raid against the Georgia State Railroad between Chattanooga and Atlanta, Georgia. Andrews was to steal a train, destroy bridges and tracks, and cut telegraph lines. Mitchel intended an advance eastwards from Huntsville, Alabama, to meet up with the raiders. Andrews recruited 22 Ohio volunteers from the brigade of Brigadier-General Joshua Woodrow Sill. They travelled from Shelbyville in civilian clothes and made a rendezvous in Chattanooga on 11 April 1862.

Shiloh, Tennessee, also known as Pittsburg Landing. Union Major-General Don Carlos Buell’s Army of the Ohio had crossed the Tennessee River in large enough numbers by 4 am to raise the strength of the combined Union armies to 45,000 men. The Confederates had suffered severe casualties, and straggling and desertion reduced their effective strength to little more than 20,000 effectives.
The Confederates withdrew overnight to new positions around the former camps of Union Brigadier-General Benjamin Mayberry Prentiss’s and Brigadier-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s divisions. Confederate Major-General Leonidas Polk’s corps retired all the way to the Confederate bivouac of the 5 April, about four miles southwest of Pittsburg Landing. . The Confederate defenders were disorganised above the brigade level. It required over two hours to locate Polk and to bring his division forward from its bivouac. No coherent line of battle was formed and few commands were resupplied with ammunition.
Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard, unaware that he was now significantly outnumbered, planned to resume the attack at dawn in order to drive Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant’s Army of West Tennessee into the Tennessee River. To his surprise, Union forces started moving against him at dawn in a massive counterattack. Grant and Buell launched their attacks separately; coordination occurred only at the division level due to weak staff work and the difficulty of communicating in the tangled forests. Union Brigadier-General William Nelson’s division of Buell’s army started the main action on the left at about 6 am and Brigadier-General Lewis Wallace’s division of Grant’s army went into action crossing Tilghman Branch at the extreme right of the Union line around 7 am, driving back the brigade of Colonel Preston Pond. On Wallace’s left were the survivors of Sherman’s division, then Brigadier-General John Alexander McClernand’s, and finally the division of the mortally wounded Brigadier-General William Hervey Lamm Wallace’s (now under the command of Colonel James Madison Tuttle). Buell’s divisions continued the line to the left: Nelson’s division, then Brigadier-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden’s division and one brigade from Brigadier-General Alexander McDowell McCook’s division.
By 10 am Beauregard had stabilised the front with his corps commanders commanding sectors rather than specific units from left to right: Major-General Braxton Bragg, Polk, Brigadier-General John Cabell Breckinridge, and Major-General William Joseph Hardee.
On the Union left, Nelson’s division continued its advance down the Corinth and Hamburg-Savannah Roads, followed closely by Crittenden’s and McCook’s divisions. After heavy fighting, Crittenden’s division recaptured the Hornet’s Nest area by late morning, but Crittenden and Nelson were both repulsed by determined counterattacks launched by Breckinridge. As Crittenden and McCook resumed their attacks, Breckinridge was forced to retire, and by noon Beauregard’s line paralleled the Hamburg-Purdy Road. The Union right flank also made steady progress, driving Bragg and Polk southwards. and Grant’s men regained Shiloh Chapel. Then the Union right was temporarily driven back by counter-attacks at Water Oaks Pond.
In the early afternoon, after a two-mile retreat and the Union artillery had been outpaced, Beauregard launched a series of counterattacks at both the Peach Orchard and Shiloh Church, aiming to ensure control of the Corinth Road. Union artillery then arrived in force and resistance stiffened as the fight swung back and forth without direction in dense undergrowth and woodlands.
Crittenden, reinforced by Tuttle, seized the road junction of the Hamburg-Purdy and East Corinth Roads, driving the Confederates into Prentiss’s old camps. Nelson resumed his attack and seized the heights overlooking Locust Grove Branch by late afternoon. Beauregard’s final counterattack was outflanked and repulsed when Grant moved Colonel James Clifford Veatch’s brigade forward.
Beauregard was still hoping in vain for reinforcement by the 15,000 troops of Major-General Earl Van Dorn from Arkansas so that he could resume the attack yet again. He thought that Van Dorn’s men were already moving by rail from Memphis to his aid but when he learned that Van Dorn had not even crossed the Mississippi Riveri, he ordered a general withdrawal back to Corinth. The Confederates withdrew first beyond Shiloh Church, using 5,000 men under Breckinridge as a rearguard, and massing Confederate batteries at the church and on the ridge south of Shiloh Branch. The army started its escape behind this screen at about 4 pm. Breckinridge’s rearguard held off the Union forces on the Corinth Road until 5 pm. Within two hours all but Breckinridge had disengaged and had begun an unmolested but disorganised retreat rowards Corinth.
Confederate Brigadier-General Chartless Clark had been wounded and his division was taken over by Brigadier-General Alexander Peter Stewart. Brigadier-General Preston Smith similarly took over a division from the wounded Brigadier-General Bushrod Rust Johnson.
The exhausted Union soldiers did not pursue far beyond the original Sherman and Prentiss encampments. Lewis Wallace’s division advanced beyond Shiloh Branch but, receiving no support from other units, they halted at dusk and returned to Sherman’s camp.
In the immediate aftermath of the battle, Northern newspapers vilified Grant, spreading a story that Grant had been drunk and alleging he had been surprised and had shown a lack of defensive preparedness. Many credited Buell with taking control of the broken Union forces and leading them to victory. The two-day battle of Shiloh, the costliest in American history to date, resulted in a Confederate defeat and the frustration of General Albert Sidney Johnston’s plans to prevent the junction of the two Union armies in Tennessee.
Union casualties were 13,047 (1,754 killed, 8,408 wounded, and 2,885 missing); Grant’s army bore the brunt of the fighting over the two days, with casualties of 1,513 killed, 6,601 wounded, and 2,830 missing or captured but Buell lost almost 2,000 men in the advance of the second day. Confederate casualties were 10,694 or 10,699 (1,728 killed, 8,012 wounded, and 959 missing or captured). This total of 23,746 men represented more than the American battle-related casualties of the American Revolutionary War, the War of 1812, and the Mexican-American War combined.

Virginia. Union reconnaissance to the Rappahannock River by Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas J Lucas (16th Indiana Infantry).

Virginia. Skirmish at Columbia Furnace.

Virginia. Expedition to Gloucester Court House.

Virginia. After two days of reconnaissance, Union Major-General George Brinton McClellan concluded firmly that he could not take the Confederate defences at Yorktown by assault. He suspended the march up the Peninsula toward Richmond, ordered the construction of siege works, and sent for heavy siege artillery to be transported to Fortress Monroe.
