First Battle of Winchester, VA (CWSAC Decisive Battle – Confederate Victory)

Peninsula Campaign
First Corinth Campaign
Jackson‘s Shenandoah Valley Campaign

USA. US Secretary of War Edwin McMasters Stanton called volunteers and militia into active duty from Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

Mississippi. Union forces under Major-General Henry Halleck arrived at the vital railroad hub of Corinth after a creeping 26-day advance covering the twenty miles from Pittsburg Landing on the Tennessee River. The final three miles were covered in five days. Halleck had shown extreme prudence after the surprise attack experienced at Shiloh and entrenched every night until he could prepare to besiege the town. A preliminary bombardment covered the cautious Union movements into position during the next five days.
Corinth was held by Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard and troops concentrated from across the Western Department. Beauregard held a conference with his senior commanders, General Braxton Bragg, Major-General Earl Van Dorn, Major-General Leonidas Polk, Major-General William Joseph Hardee, Brigadier-General John Cabell Breckinridge, and Major-General Sterling Price. With the army in poor health and rapidly running out of food, the only options were to launch an immediate attack against the increasingly powerful Union entrenchments or to evacuate Corinth before the impending siege trapped them. The conference decided to retreat along the line of the Mobile & Ohio Railroad.

Missouri. Operation at Waverly and Miami began.

South Carolina. Incidents between Dixon’s Island and James Island. A Confederate gunboat under Captain F N Bonneau, guarding the bridge between James and Dixon Islands in Charleston harbour, exchanged fire with Union gunboats, claiming several hits on the gunboats and damage to the steamer Chesterfield.

Tennessee. Union Major-General Ormsby McKnight Mitchel abandoned his efforts to advance to Chattanooga. He had spent several weeks in northern Alabama wrecking the railroad system but conceded that he could not sustain an unsupported advance beyond Huntsville and Bridgeport. This failure, and the inability of Brigadier-General George Washington Morgan to advance beyond the Cumberland Gap to join Mitchel for a concentric advance on Chattanooga, meant that these strategic diversions had failed to divert Confederate forces away from the main Union advance towards Corinth.

Tennessee. Union Colonel Charles Ellet joined the Western River Flotilla near Fort Pillow with nine new ram vessels. They were unarmed and unarmoured, relying on powerful engines generating high speed and an immense reinforced bow spike to smash into and sink an opponent. The ships were specially braced for the shock tactic and the crews were selected for audacity and courage. Each of the nine captains was a brother, nephew, or son of Ellet himself. The Union ironclad fleet was under-strength when these strange reinforcements arrived. The two ships that had been sunk at Plum Run bend had been salvaged but needed repairs, along with a third ship that had broken down. These had all returned to Cairo, Illinois, leaving only four of the seven warships available for action until Ellet arrived.
The Confederates in Memphis noted the arrival of the Ellet rams but believed that they were unarmed transports rather than ramming warships. The Confederates relied on the guns at Fort Pillow and Fort Randolph, supported by their fleet of eight gunboats which had performed successfully at Plum Run Bend. They also awaited the completion of their own monster ironclads, the CSS Arkansas and CSS Tennessee that had been laid down at Memphis. CSS Arkansas had been sent downriver, first to Vicksburg and then up the Yazoo River, to be fitted out. CSS Tennessee still lay on the stocks at Memphis awaiting iron armour to cover its decks and hull.

Texas. Operation at Galveston ended.

Virginia. Union expedition from Bottom’s Bridge to the James River began, led by Lieutenant Frank C Davis (3rd Pennsylvania Cavalry).

Virginia. Incidents at Harper’s Ferry and Winchester.

Virginia. Union Major-General George Brinton McClellan ordered Brigadier-General Fitz-John Porter, commanding V Corps of the Army of the Potomac, to extend the Union flank north of the Chickahominy in the direction of reinforcements anticipated to arrive from Fredericksburg. McClellan did not yet know that the advance from Fredericksburg had been cancelled in response to Confederate aggression in the Shenandoah Valley. Union Major-General William Buel Franklin’s VI Corps was held ready to support Porter.
McClellan was now advised by President Abraham Lincoln that operations in the Shenandoah Valley were not deemed to be feints but a serious threat to Washington, DC. Lincoln ordered McClellan to launch the attack on Richmond as early as possible even though Major-General Irvin McDowell would not now be advancing southwards to reinforce him from Fredericksburg.
Union Major-General Samuel Peter Heintzelman’s III Corps advanced towards Richmond along the Williamsburg Road and constructed a redoubt a mile and a half west of Seven Pines, within five miles of the city centre. Major-General Erasmus Darwin Keyes’ IV Corps was held in reserve behind Heintzelman. Major-General Edwin Vose Sumner’s II Corps was held back eight miles from Mechanicsville as a reserve for either wing, in a position to cross the Chickahominy as and when required. McClellan was building eleven bridges across the Chickahominy along the twelve-mile stretch between Mechanicsville and Bottom’s Bridge to improve communications between his two wings, which were now separated by the near impassable Chickahominy River. However, continuous heavy rain swept the bridges away almost as quickly as they were built across the swampy bottomlands.

First Winchester, Virginia, also known as Winchester or Bowers Hill. During the night, Confederate Major-General Richard Stoddert Ewell’s division converged on Winchester from the southeast using the Front Royal Pike and reached Buffalo Lick. Meanwhile, Confederate Major-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson’s division was woken at 4 am and continued north on the Valley Pike through Kernstown towards Winchester, where Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks was posting his 6,500 men to defend the town.
Banks placed Colonel George Henry Gordon’s brigade on his right and Colonel Dudley Donnelly’s brigade on his left. A makeshift cavalry force connected them. It was imperative for the Confederates to take the critical heights southwest of Winchester before Banks could fortify them and Jackson halted within striking distance at about 1 am, while couriers attempted to locate Ewell’s column.
At first light, the Confederate skirmish line advanced in force driving the Union pickets back to their main line of battle. Ewell deployed his brigades astride the Front Royal Pike and advanced against the Union left flank. His leading regiments (in particular the 21^st North Carolina Infantry) came under heavy fire from Union troops deployed behind stone fences and were repulsed. The Confederates regrouped and brought up artillery. After about an hour they advanced again, this time sending regiments to either side of the high ground to enfilade the Union position. Donnelly withdrew his Union brigade to a position closer to town with his right flank anchored on Camp Hill. Confederate Brigadier-General Isaac Ridgeway Trimble’s Confederate brigade then attempted a flanking movement to the right beyond the Millwood Road, threatening the Union left and rear on Bower’s Hill. This movement, in conjunction with Confederate manoeuvres on the left beyond the Valley Pike, caused the Union line to collapse in this sector.
In conjunction with Ewell’s advance on the Front Royal Pike, Jackson advanced the Stonewall Brigade on the Valley Pike at early dawn in a heavy fog. At Jackson’s command, the brigade swept over a hill to the left of the pike, driving off the Union skirmishers who held it. Jackson quickly placed a section of artillery on the hill to engage Union artillery on Bowers Hill at a range of less than half a mile. Union sharpshooters along Abrams Creek began picking off the gunners. In response, Banks moved his artillery farther to the right to enfilade the Confederate artillery and heavily reinforced his right flank with infantry. Jackson brought up the rest of his artillery and a duel ensued with the Union guns on Bower’s Hill. It now appeared that the Union forces were preparing to turn the Confederate left. To counter this threat, Jackson deployed Brigadier-General Richard Taylor’s brigade, reinforced by two regiments of Brigadier-General William Booth Taliaferro’s brigade, to the left along Abrams Creek. Taylor marched under fire to a position overlapping the Union right and then attacked Bower’s Hill. The Confederate assault swept irresistibly forward over the crest in the face of determined resistance and overran a battery, taking two rifled guns.
With Banks’ 7,000 Union troops being attacked on three sides by 16,000 Confederates, collapse was inevitable, and the right flank gave way just as the left flank was being pressured by Ewell. Union soldiers began streaming back into town and then stampeded north through Winchester. Banks withdrew north, first to Martinsburg and then onwards towards the Potomac River. In Harper’s Ferry, Brigadier-General Rufus Saxton took command to put in place a sufficient defence of the vital crossing of the Potomac River.
The Confederate pursuit was lethargic, as the troops were exhausted from the non-stop marching of the previous week under Jackson’s command. Nevertheless, many Union prisoners fell into Confederate hands. Brigadier-General Turner Ashby’s cavalry was disorganised and exhausted from the actions of the preceding days. Ashby could not be located to bring his cavalry to bear. Efforts to mount weary infantrymen on artillery horses failed. The pursuit by the exhausted Confederates was ineffectual and Jackson resigned himself to two days of necessary rest and recuperation at Winchester, allowing Banks the time to escape towards Williamsport. Ashby’s cavalry finally headed for Berryville to prevent a possible escape from Winchester towards Snicker’s Gap.
Union losses were reported as 2,019 and Confederate as 400 (68 killed, 329 wounded, 3 missing). Between 23 and 25 May Banks lost between 2,769 and 3,030 prisoners from his original 8,500 men. Of these 1,603 were lost at Front Royal. (CWSAC Decisive Battle – Confederate Victory)
