Arkansas. Expedition to Boston Mountains began.
Arkansas. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter detached USS Conestoga from the Vicksburg expedition to support Brigadier-General Willis Arnold Gorman in his forthcoming campaign in Arkansas. USS Conestoga patrolled between the White and Arkansas Rivers.
Florida. USS Magnolia, Acting Master Charles Potter, captured the British schooner Carmita northwest of Marquesas Keys, as it attempted to run the blockade.
Florida. USS Roebuck, Master John Sherrill, captured the British schooner Kate attempting to run the blockade into St Mark’s River, with a cargo of salt, coffee, copper, and liquor.
Indian Territory. Union Colonel William A Phillips burned the forme Confederate headquarters in the Indian Territory at Fort Davis.
Elizabethtown. Kentucky. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s cavalry raiders passed through Bardstown to strike the Louisville & Nashville Railroad north of Munfordville. He followed the tracks to Rolling Fork north of Elizabethtown. While crossing the river on an eastward detour, he was attacked by a Union brigade sent from Gallatin. He reached Bardstown after some losses and headed onwards to Springfield where he learned that a large force had gathered at Lebanon. Morgan reached Elizabethtown where the authorities offered a flag of truce. They suggested to Morgan that the Confederates were surrounded and that Morgan ought to surrender. Morgan replied with a demand for the Union troops to surrender to him but this was refused. The Confederates opened fire on the town with artillery and the Union troops took cover in the houses. After 45 minutes of Confederate shelling, the town offered its surrender to Morgan. This opened the way for Morgan to head for the vital railroad bridges at Muldraugh’s Hill where the Union garrison surrendered. The two immense trestle bridges, five hundred feet long and eighty feet tall, were burned.
Mississippi. Skirmish at Chickasaw Bayou.
Mississippi. Skirmish at Snyder’s Mill on the Yazoo River.
Mississippi. Union Major-General Frederick Steele’s 4th Division of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s Vicksburg expedition disembarked upstream from Johnson’s Plantation to join the three divisions that had landed the day before. The Union base at Johnson’s Plantation was little more than a cleared space amid the swamplands, separated from the woods by a broad, shallow bayou and hemmed in by Old River Bayou on the right and Chickasaw Bayou on the left. The four Union divisions pushed their lines forward through the swamps toward Walnut Hills, which were strongly defended by troops under Confederate Brigadier-General Stephen Dill Lee.
Sherman advanced in four columns behind an advance guard of Colonel De Courcy’s brigade (3/5/XIII), Brigadier-General David Stuart’s brigade (4/2/XIII) and Brigadier-General Francis Preston Blair’s brigade (1/4/XIII) brigades. De Courcy, Stuart, and Blair made a reconnaissance to discover weaknesses in the Confederate defences. They moved slowly ahead through the densely wooded and difficult swampy terrain, skirmishing with Lee’s covering force at Mrs Lake’s plantation. Meanwhile, Union Brigadier-General Andrew Jackson Smith’s division on the right flank headed straight for Vicksburg. On the left flank, Brigadier-General Morgan Lewis Smith’s division was reinforced by Blair’s brigade to move up the west bank of Chickasaw Bayou. Steele’s depleted division was placed on the furthest left across the Bayou.
The Confederate forces opposing Sherman’s advance were under the overall direction of the Department of Mississippi and East Louisiana, commanded by Lieutenant-General John Clifford Pemberton. S D Lee had recently arrived from Grenada after the Union advance along the Mississippi Central Railroad had been reversed. Lee was given a provisional division with brigades commanded by Colonel William T Withers and Colonel Allen Thomas and he was the primary commander of the Confederate defence in the Walnut Hills north of the city of Vicksburg. Lee was later superseded by Major-General Dabney Herndon Maury.
The Union retreat from Holly Springs permitted the Confederates to send a further 6,000 men from Grenada to reinforce Vicksburg in the form of brigades under Brigadier-General Seth Maxwell Barton, Brigadier-General John Crawford Vaughn, and Brigadier-General Edward Dorr Tracy. Brigadier-General John Gregg also arrived later with a brigade of reinforcements. The fortified Defences of Vicksburg were commanded locally by Brigadier-General Martin Luther Smith, and he placed 6,000 of his 13,000 men defending the strong line of bluffs extending from the river north of Vicksburg to Snyder’s or Drummond’s Bluff ten miles to the northeast. Additional reinforcements were also being sent from Tennessee in the form of a division under Major-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson.
Although the Union forces outnumbered the defenders of Chickasaw Bluffs and Walnut Hills by two to one (30,720 to 13,792), they faced a formidable maze of natural and man-made defences. The area featured a thick entanglement of trees which was broken intermittently by swampland and bayous. Chickasaw Bayou was near impassable, at least chest-deep, 50 yards wide, and choked with trees, and it acted as a barrier to Sherman’s advance because it ran parallel to the planned line of advance and could interrupt communication between units. The Confederates increased the density of the barriers using felled trees for abattis.
Mississippi. Union Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s squadron escorting the expedition to Vicksburg was engaged by Confederate batteries on the Yazoo River. USS Benton continued its efforts to remove torpedoes in the channel where USS Cairo had been lost a fortnight earlier, while USS Cincinnati, USS Baron de Kalb, USS Louisville, USS Lexington, USS Marmora, and the ram USS Queen of the West returned the fire of the eight heavy guns fortified at Drumgould’s Bluff. USS Benton was hit thirty times and Commander William Gwin was killed by one of the three shots that passed through its gun ports. The Yazoo was cleared of torpedoes to within half a mile of the battery.
North Carolina. Skirmish at Elizabeth City.
Tennessee. Incidents at La Vergne and Nolensville.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Triune.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Stewart’s Creek Bridge on the Jefferson Pike.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Stewart’s Creek Bridge on the Murfreesboro Pike.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Huntingdon involving Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Franklin.
Virginia. Confederate raid to Dumfries and Fairfax Court House began.
Virginia. Skirmishes at Fairfax Court House, Chantilly, Frying Pan, Occoquan, and Dumfries.
Occoquan, Virginia, also known as Dumfries. Confederate Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart’s cavalry raiders aimed to strike the Telegraph Road at three points between Aquia Creek and the Occoquan. Brigadier-General Fitzhugh Lee took a force north of the Chopowamsic and then headed north for Dumfries. Brigadier-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee aimed directly for Dumfries while Brigadier-General Wade Hampton advanced towards the Occoquan. All three columns captured prisoners but Dumfries was too heavily defended to attempt its capture. The raiders made a limited attack, causing 83 casualties, of whom 65 were missing. Hampton attacked the 17th Pennsylvania Cavalry at Occoquan and then withdrew nine miles northwest to reunite with the other two columns at Cole’s Store. Stuart evacuated his prisoners and captured wagons and supplies overnight and sent away two guns that had no more ammunition.
