Arkansas. Three columns of cavalry under the command of Confederate Brigadier-General John Sappington Marmaduke left Lewisburg on the northern bank of the Arkansas River. The bulk of the force comprised Colonel Joseph Orville Shelby’s veteran brigade but these were joined by recruits during the march until they numbered 2,300 men. They headed north on separate roads toward Missouri and the Union supply lines. Marmaduke’s immediate objective was the destruction of the Union Army of the Frontier’s major winter supply depot in and around Springfield, Missouri, a hundred miles to the north. He hoped that hardship and isolation would force the Union army’s withdrawal from Arkansas.
Marmaduke’s main column proceeded north through Forsyth to Ozark. A Union garrison stationed at Ozark withdrew and the Confederates burned its abandoned fort. A second Confederate column, commanded by Colonel Emmett MacDonald, destroyed Fort Lawrence at Lawrence Mill on Beaver Creek, about ten miles southwest of Ava. The third column under Colonel Joseph C Porter passed by to the north through Hartville. All three commands intended to converge on Springfield in their attempt to capture the city’s lightly defended military warehouses.

Mississippi. Confederate President Jefferson Finis Davis left Jackson to resume his tour of the Southern states. His next stop was Mobile, Alabama.

Mississippi. The Union plan to break the deadlock at Chickasaw Bluffs by an attack on the Yazoo River at Haines Bluff and Drumgould’s Bluff was implemented. A ram fitted with a forty-five foot boom fitted to assist in clearing the obstacles and torpedoes in the Yazoo River preceded the transports carrying Major-General Frederick Steele’s division and Brigadier-General Stephen Gano Burbridge’s brigade. The other three divisions of Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s expedition were put on alert to attack Walnut Hills and Chickasaw Bluffs as a diversion when they heard the sound of gunfire from Steele’s troops further upstream.

Missouri. Operation at Sugar Creek Hills ended.

North Carolina. The revolutionary ironclad warship USS Monitor was ordered to Beaufort to take part in the blockade. While being towed down the coast under command of Commander John P Bankhead, the seas began to build up and she took on water. Soon the water in the hold outran the pumps and put out the fires in her engines. The order was given to abandon ship. Most of the crew was rescued by USS Rhode Island, but sixteen men were lost when she sank in the early hours off Cape Hatteras.

Tennessee. Skirmishes at Wilkinson’s Cross Roads and Carter’s Depot.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Overall Creek.

Parker’s Cross Roads, Tennessee, also known as Red Mound. As Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s expedition into West Tennessee was nearing its conclusion near Lexington, it encountered the skirmishers of Union Colonel Cyrus L Dunham’s brigade (3/8/XVI) from the pursuing division of Brigadier-General Jeremiah Cutler Sullivan. Sullivan was attempting to concentrate his three brigades to prevent Forrest from withdrawing across the Tennessee River. Dunham’s men deployed to stop Forrest’s march at Parker’s Cross Roads.
Forrest sent four companies to guard his rear on the Huntingdon Road and moved forward to attack Dunham at Parker’s Cross Roads. Skirmishing began about 9 am, with Forrest taking an initial position along a wooded ridge northwest of Dunham at the intersection. Confederate artillery gained an early advantage, so Dunham pulled his brigade back a half-mile and redeployed, facing north. He then repelled a frontal feint until he was attacked on both flanks and rear by Forrest’s mounted and dismounted troops. Forrest managed to overrun three guns and also captured eighteen wagons full of ammunition. Forrest sent Dunham a demand for unconditional surrender because of his precarious position. Dunham refused and was preparing for Forrest’s next onset when Union Colonel John Wallace Fuller (1/8/XVI), brigade suddenly arrived from the north and surprised the Confederates with an attack on their rear. The Confederate companies on the Huntingdon Road had failed to warn of Fuller’s approach. “Charge ’em both ways,” ordered Forrest. The Confederates briefly reversed front, repelled Fuller, then rushed past Dunham’s demoralised force, and then withdrew hastily south to Lexington. Forrest abandoned the three captured guns and much of his captured booty in order to flee towards the crossing of the Tennessee at Clifton. Three hundred Confederates became prisoners after their horses were stampeded and they were unable to mount up to evade pursuit when Sullivan arrived with his third brigade.
Union casualties were reported as 237 out of about 3,000 men engaged. The Confederates lost 300 prisoners 200 other casualties, as well as 6 guns and 350 horses. (CWSAC Formative Battle – Confederate Victory)

Stones River, Tennessee, also known as Stone’s River or Murfreesboro. The Union Army of the Cumberland under Major-General William Starke Rosecrans faced the Confederate Army of Tennessee with 38,000 men under Braxton Bragg along Stones River, near Murfreesboro.
The Confederate had two corps under Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk and Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee and Major-General Joseph Wheeler’s cavalry division. Wheeler’s troopers returned to the Confederate left flank at 2 am from their destructive two-day raid in the Union rear where they had captured or destroyed all or part of four supply trains and paroled over a thousand prisoners.
Each side planned to assault the opposing right flank at Murfreesboro. The Confederate division of Major-General John Cabell Breckinridge with 8,000 men was northwest of Murfreesboro on the eastern side of Stones River. Hardee had moved to the western side of the river opposite the Union right flank with the divisions of Major-General John Porter McCown (4,500 men) and Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne (7,000 men). The Confederate centre was held by a division under Major-General Jones Mitchell Withers (8,500 men) with Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham’s division in support behind it. McCown was ordered to attack at dawn.
The Union commander Major-General William Starke Rosecrans was preparing an attack across the river on his left flank. The left flank of the Union line reached as far as Stones river with Major-General John McAuley Palmer’s division (4,400 men) and Brigadier-General Thomas John Wood’s division (5,100 men) of Major-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden’s Corps. Crittenden was ordered to attack on the left flank with the intention of capturing the high ground east of Stones Rover, that dominated the ground on both banks. Major-General Lovell Harrison Rousseau’s division of Thomas’ Corps (6,200) and Brigadier-General Horatio Phillips Van Cleve’s division of Crittenden’s Corps (3,800 men) waited behind Wood and Palmer to carry out the attack across the river.
One of Union Major-General Alexander McDowell McCook’s divisions under Brigadier-General Richard William Johnson had 6,300 men on the extreme right with Brigadier-General Jefferson Columbus Davis’ division to their left with 4,600 men. Brigadier-General Philip Henry Sheridan’s division of 5,000 men extended the line to the Wilkinson Pike. These divisions of McCook’s Corps were directed to hold their ground or give way slowly if attacked, buying time for the anticipated advance on the left wing to gain ground and momentum.
Union Major-General George Henry Thomas’ Corps held the centre of the line and would join the attack once Crittenden’s advance made progress on his left. Thomas left behind two of his divisions detached in garrisons: Major-General Ormsby McKnight Mitchel’s division was at Nashville and Major-General Joseph Jones Reynolds’ division was busily pursuing Confederate cavalry raiders under Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest.
The Union divisions of Van Cleve and Wood were assigned to cross to the eastern side of the river for Crittenden’s attack. Van Cleve did cross the river at 7 am as Rosecrans’ attack was scheduled to begin at that but the Union offensive was forestalled by a Confederate attack before dawn on the opposite flank. Wood was kept south of the river and then formed the left flank of the Union defence, leaving Van Cleve to advance alone.
The Confederate attack preceded the Union one and forced its abandonment. McCown’s brigades of Brigadier-General James Edward Rains, Brigadier-General Matthew Duncan Ector, and Brigadier-General Evander McNair struck McCook Corps in the dawn twilight. The attack by McCown’s division and Cleburne’s division it behind it was coordinated by Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee. They surprised the Union troops at breakfast and drove back the Union brigades of Brigadier-General Edward Needles Kirk and Brigadier-General Johann August Ernst von Willich. Kirk’s men were alerted to the attack but Willich’s troops were surprised in the morning mist. Kirk was mortally wounded during the fighting. Rosecrans immediately cancelled Crittenden’s attack on the Confederate right and rushed reinforcements from this area to strengthen his own threatened right flank instead.
The attack of McCown’s division drifted gradually towards the left, having been distracted by the location of deceptive campfires during the night. Cleburne’s division was following about 400 yards behind McCown and entered the emerging gap to keep up the momentum on McCown’s right. Davis’ and Sheridan’s Union divisions were drawn into the action in this sector and attempted to stem the tide of Hardee’s two divisions. Several Union artillery batteries were captured without having time to fire a shot. Johnson’s division on the right suffered very heavy casualties and largely disintegrated. To Johnson’s left, Davis’ division held out only briefly. The Union right wing was saved from total destruction by the foresight of Sheridan who had anticipated an early attack and roused his division in the centre of the right half of the line by 4 am and moved quickly to stem the tide.
A second Confederate wave of attacks was launched by Polk’s Corps, consisting of the divisions of Major-General Jones Mitchell Withers and Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham. Withers hit Sheridan’s right flank first (and also Davis’ left) but was repulsed in three separate charges by Sheridan’s pugnacious defence of an area of rocky, broken ground. A further effort by fresh troops from Cheatham’s division enveloped Davis’ left, forcing him to retreat, and thus exposing Sheridan’s right. Sheridan counterattacked at about 9.30 am with Colonel George W Roberts’ brigade and gained enough time to withdraw to a new position on the Nashville Pike, forming at right angles to Major-General James Scott Negley’s division on his left. Sheridan’s men slowed the enemy advance at a heavy cost; all three of Sheridan’s brigade commanders were lost that day, and more than one third of his men fell as casualties in four hours. Part of the division was surrounded on three sides in a cedar forest that became known as “The Slaughter Pen”. Brigadier-General Joshua Woodrow Sill was killed in action.
By 10 am, many of the Confederate objectives had been achieved. They had advanced three miles and captured 28 guns and over 3,000 Union soldiers. Rousseau’s division arrived from the reserve to shore up Sheridan’s right. Much of Johnson’s division and the remnants of Davis’ division had fled in rout to the rear where they were harassed by the cavalry brigade, 2,000 strong, of Confederate Brigadier-General John Austin Wharton.
By 11 am Sheridan’s ammunition had run low and his exhausted and depleted division pulled back, opening a gap between Negley and Rousseau. Hardee soon exploited the opportunity. The Confederates renewed their attack and forced Sheridan’s division to withdraw more quickly. The Union right commenced a general withdrawal with Lieutenant-Colonel Oliver Lathrop Shepherd’s Regular Army brigade suffering heavily as the rearguard. The Union troops regrouped three miles further back to hold the Nashville Pike, where they were supported by reinforcements transferred from the left flank and by massed batteries of artillery.
Rosecrans had quickly understood the severity of the Confederate attack and abandoned his own plan for an offensive by Crittenden’s Corps on his own left flank. Van Cleve’s division (apart from one brigade under Colonel Samuel W Price) was withdrawn back over Stones River at about 11 am in time to strengthen the main line. Rosecrans gave Price the unenviable instruction to hold the ford over Stones River at the cost of every man’s life in his brigade, including his own if necessary. Confederate cavalry of Brigadier-General John Pegram’s brigade had detected Van Cleve’s early foray to the south side of the river but did not spot his later withdrawal. This kept Breckinridge’s division pinned down in anticipation of Van Cleve’s advance. Palmer’s division had already been pulled back to align with the new line and Wood’s division was also drawn into stabilising the right flank.
The Union line was finally solidified by the inspirational leadership of Rosecrans, the imperturbable presence of Thomas, the prompt commitment of reserves and reinforcements, and the rallying of parts of the divisions under Johnson and Davis. The new line was roughly perpendicular to the original line, in a small half-oval with its back to the river. Palmer fixed his left flank brigade under Brigadier-General William Babcock Hazen on a wooded ridge astride the railroad. This rocky four-acre oak grove was referred to as the Round Forest but as the lynchpin of the Union defence it acquired the name of “Hell’s Half Acre” from its defenders. Repeated attacks on the left flank of the Union line were repulsed by Hazen’s brigade, supported by increasing numbers of guns deploying on high ground to the rear. Brigadier-General Milo Smith Hascall sent the 3^rd Kentucky Infantry to the Round Forest as reinforcements. When he was informed that the regimental commander was dead, Hazen decided to take personal command in the forest and declared that it had to be held at any price. Hazen’s brigade was the only part of the original Union line not to give ground. Vigorous Confederate attacks continued throughout the day but made no further progress against a well-organised defensive line.
A new attack on the Round Forest was launched by Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers’ brigades from shallow trenches where they had waited for 48 hours on the extreme right of Withers’ division, waiting concealed and without fires. They crossed a wide expanse of open ground against the entrenched position and were cut to pieces, losing severe losses in desperate fighting. Their commander was wounded. A further effort in the same area was made by Brigadier-General Daniel Smith Donelson’s brigade. It attacked the Round Forest through heavy fire and penetrated just to the west taking 1,000 prisoners and eleven guns. The Round Forest had originally been held by Hazen with Cruft’s brigade posted in open ground in front. When Sheridan’s and Negley’s divisions were driven back at 11 am, Palmer’s division was exposed on its right flank and Cruft was pushed away by the attacks of Chalmers and Donelson. Cruft was only able to withdraw when Brigadier-General William Grose’s brigade faced about to its rear to attack the threatened area. The bastion of the Round Forest remained in Union hands, however, enabling a counterattack to throw Donelson back with casualties that wrecked some regiments forever. For example, more than half of the men in the Confederate 16^th Tennessee Infantry were lost in their attack and 306 men of the 424 men in the 8^th Tennessee Infantry became casualties.
The only fresh Confederate troops available for the last assault were Breckinridge’s five brigades, and Bragg now ordered him to hold his position with one brigade and to send his other four brigades across the river from the south side of the river to go into action on Hardee’s front. In fear of being overwhelmed, Breckinridge agreed to release only one of his five brigades to go to Hardee’s support at 1 pm. Breckinridge did not realise that Crittenden’s early morning advance had been withdrawn and he now faced minimal opposition. When Bragg ordered him to attack in his front, Breckinridge moved forward and was embarrassed to find there were no Union troops opposing him. At 2 pm, he sent two of his brigades across the river and then followed with two more at about 3 pm, thus achieving Bragg’s original intention of leaving only one brigade on the eastern side.
Bragg now received a false report that a strong Union force was moving southwards along the Lebanon Turnpike in his direction. He cancelled his orders for Breckinridge to send reinforcements across the river, which interfered with the preparation of a coordinated massing of his four brigades for a decisive final attack. Bragg’s countermanding order was then withdrawn and Breckinridge’s brigades entered the assault on the Round Forest piecemeal instead of as a cohesive force. By 4 pm Breckinridge’s first two brigades assaulted Hazen in piecemeal attacks. Finally, Breckinridge’s two other brigades arrived to attack the Round Forest. They also attacked piecemeal. Brigadier-General Daniel Weisiger Adams’, Brigadier-General John King Jackson’s, Brigadier-General William Preston’s, and Brigadier-General Gideon Johnson Pillow’s brigades were defeated singly and in turn and all were repulsed with severe casualties like those before them. Hazen’s brigade held the tip of the salient at the Round Forest against the attacks with help on either side from various regiments from neighbouring units. Grose again changed his front to enable Hazen to adjust to Cruft’s withdrawal.
Eventually, the area where Confederate infantry was forming up for these attacks was threatened by Brigadier-General George Day Wagner’s Union brigade advancing along the river bank, but Wagner was forced to retire by artillery fire.
With the sun going down early at about 4.30 pm, the battle was finished and the Union defensive line held for the remainder of the day. That night Rosecrans held a council of war to decide what to do next. Some of his generals believed that the Union army had been defeated and recommended a retreat before they were entirely cut off. Rosecrans opposed this view and was strongly supported by Thomas and Crittenden. After some vacillation, Rosecrans found the resolve to hold his line and, if he was not attacked again, to seize the offensive.
On the Confederate side, Bragg was certain that he had won a resounding victory. Although he had suffered around 9,000 casualties of his own, he was convinced that the large number of captured Union soldiers indicated that Rosecrans had lost considerably more. In fact, the Union had lost heavily – about 12,000 men including prisoners. The Confederate army began digging in opposite the Union line.
