Battle of Lone Jack, MO (CWSAC Limited Battle – Confederate Victory)

Smith’s Invasion of Kentucky

USA. Union Brigadier-General Charles Pomeroy Stone was released from prison after serving 189 days of servitude for falsely supposed offences arising from the scandalous defeat at Ball’s Bluff.

Alabama. Union Major-General Don Carlos Buell received word that 15,000 Confederate troops were heading to attack Nashville from the direction of Knoxville. Buell sent for the two divisions of reinforcements promised to him from the army of Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant. Buell sent Major-General William Nelson to Kentucky to raise and train new forces to defend his lines of communications and to suppress the persistent Confederate raiders. This new force covering his rear would release his field army to engage in more proactive campaigns in Tennessee and Alabama.

Arkansas. A Union naval expedition left Helena for the Mississippi River and Yazoo River. Lieutenant-Commander Seth Ledyard Phelps USN led a fleet including USS Mound City, USS Benton, USS General Bragg, and the rams USS Monarch, USS Samson, USS Lioness, and USS Switzerland, under Colonel Alfred Washington Ellet. The fleet convoyed troops under Colonel Charles Robert Woods for a joint expedition up the Mississippi from Helena as far as the Yazoo River. The force was to be landed at various points en route to raid and disrupt Confederate riverside installations.

Kansas. The Union Army of Kansas of Brigadier-General James Gilpatrick Blunt was established with three brigades. These were led by Brigadier-General Frederick C Salomon, Colonel William Weer, and Colonel William F Cloud.

Kentucky. Beriah Magoffin, the US Governor of Kentucky since 1859, resigned from his post.

Louisiana. Incident at Milliken’s Bend.

Mississippi. Skirmish at Horn Lake Creek with Confederate guerrillas.

Lone Jack, Missouri. Confederate Colonel Vard Cockrell planned to deploy as many as 3,000 guerrillas and recruits clandestinely against the Union troops of Major Emory Foster at Lone Jack. Guerrillas under De Witt C Hunter, Lieutenant-Colonel Sydney D Jackman, and Lieutenant-Colonel Tracy met in a field to the west of town well before sunrise to await the opening of the fight. Upton Hays was to initiate the battle with a mounted attack from the north as daylight approached whereupon the others would launch a surprise flank attack. Hays did not attack as early as planned. As daylight broke, Foster’s pickets became aware of Hays’ advance, allowing them a brief opportunity to deploy and spoiling the element of surprise. When sunrise exposed them to view, Jackman, Hunter, and Tracy attacked but were held in check. Hays then performed a dismounted attack from the north. Together his force and Tracy’s crumpled the Union right flank, forcing the 7^th Missouri Cavalry (commanded by Captain Milton H Brawner) back onto the artillery line. The Union gunners began a desperate fight. Union Captain Long’s 2^nd Battalion Missouri State Militia Cavalry was concealed behind a hedgerow of Osage orange trees and poured a crossfire on the Confederates, repulsing them temporarily. On the other side of the field, Hunter’s force was stalled by three companies of Captain Plumb’s 6^th Missouri State Militia Cavalry. A mounted force (possibly Colonel J T Coffee’s) approached Hunter’s flank and he mistook them for Union troops. The mounted men attacked but were surprised and repulsed by fire from Captain Slocum’s company of the 7^th Missouri State Militia Cavalry behind another Osage orange hedge. Hunter, now short of ammunition, abandoned the field for the ammunition train, exposing Jackman’s flank. Jackman was also short of ammunition and retired as well. Tracy’s and Hays’ commands renewed their attack to the north, eventually displacing the Indiana battery. With no remaining Confederate threat to the south Captain Plumb counterattacked to the north reclaiming the artillery. Jackman and Hunter’s men returned to the field with replenished ammunition. Hays attempted to counter-attack but a counter-charge by Plumb forced him to retreat. The fighting broke down into a war of attrition between Confederates on the western side of the street, Union men on the eastern side with their artillery in the middle. The guns changed hands several times until Foster recaptured them a final time, being severely wounded in the process.
After five hours of fighting and the loss of Foster, Confederate Colonel Coffee and his 800 men reappeared north of town causing Foster’s successor, Captain Milton H Brawner, to order a retreat. The men left the field in good order and returned to Lexington. The guns were hastily spiked or disabled and hidden before the Union troops departed. Cockrell succeeded in locating the two guns and removed them back to Arkansas. One gun was later credited with firing the shot that disabled the Queen City on the White River. The Confederate recruits gained a substantial quantity of much-needed firearms since as many as half of their recruits were initially unarmed.
Captain Brawner reported Union losses as 43 killed, 154 wounded, and 75 missing or captured but this was almost certainly too low. At least 55 Confederates were killed. (CWSAC Limited Battle – Confederate Victory)

Tennessee. Incidents at Cumberland Gap, Rogers’ Gap, and Merryweather’s Ferry.

Tennessee. The Confederate Army of Kentucky was established under Major-General Edmund Kirby Smith in eastern Tennessee. He led four divisions under Brigadier-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson, Brigadier-General Henry Heth, Brigadier-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne, and Brigadier-General Thomas James Churchill. A cavalry contingent was commanded by Colonel John Hunt Morgan. The army passed over the Cumberland Mountains and crossed into Kentucky.

Texas. A Union naval force, comprising USS Sachem, USS Reindeer, USS Belle Italia, and the yacht Corypheus, all under the command of Acting Lieutenant John W Kittredge, began a bombardment of Corpus Christi.

Virginia. Expedition from Fredericksburg to Port Royal ended.

Virginia. Reconnaissance to Louisa Court House by Confederate Brigadier-General Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry brigade began.

Virginia. Incident at Wire Bridge.

Virginia. The Union Army of the Potomac completed its evacuation of the fortified camp at Harrison’s Landing and the final rearguards crossed the Chickahominy River on their way to Yorktown and Fort Monroe.

Virginia. Aware that Major-General George Brinton McClellan’s Union Army of the Potomac was being transported by sea from the James River to join Major-General John Pope’s army at Culpeper, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee decided to seize the initiative against Pope. He devised a plan to use Clark’s Mountain to shield the concentration of his army and to attack Pope’s eastern flank. This would cut Pope from the main route along which reinforcements from McClellan’s army were expected to come, and also cut his direct communications with Washington, DC. A cavalry brigade was ordered to cross upstream in the darkness to destroy the bridge at Rappahannock Station and sever the railroad. That would be the prelude for a general advance that would trap the Union Army of Virginia between the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers. Confederate Major-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson proposed an immediate advance but Major-General James Longstreet advised a day to wait for the army’s logistics to be improved and for the staff to plan the operation more thoroughly. Lee agreed to the delay as his cavalry had not yet arrived to carry out the raid into the enemy’s rear. The Confederate army moved up to defensive positions along the Rapidan River with orders to cross at dawn the following day.
