CSA. The position of Chief Constructor was established in the Confederate Department of the Navy. John L Porter served in this role until April 1865.

Day’s Gap, Alabama, also known as Sand Mountain, Crooked Creek, or Sand Mountain. Union Colonel Abel Delos Streight’s raiders started up Day’s Gap at sunrise. Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest and his three cavalry regiments were now shadowing the raiding column, half of whom were on foot and the other half riding mules. As the raiders reached the crest of Sand Mountain, the Confederates approached from downhill and began a long-range artillery bombardment.
Streight selected a wooded ridge, three miles from where he first came under fire, to make a stand with his main force. One flank was protected by a steep ravine and the other by a boggy creek. The Union rearguard fell back to this line and the pursuing Confederates were surprised and beaten back. A second attack was made by the Confederates supported by two 12-pounder mountain howitzers. The second attack was also defeated and a sharp counter-attack resulted in the capture of the two Confederate howitzers. When the pursuers had recovered and launched a third attack, Streight’s column had already resumed its march and was beyond reach.
This was the start of a three-day running battle that extended for over 120 miles. The next clash was about an hour before dark at Crooked Creek, six miles further east. The fighting continued past nightfall in the moonlight. Before Streight could be fixed in place, he made another rapid withdrawal but was forced to spike and abandon the two captured howitzers. Union casualties were reported as 23 and Confederate as 65. (CWSAC Formative Battle Union Victory)

Mississippi. Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant had intended to cross the river at Grand Gulf but when the Union fleet was unable to silence the Confederate guns there, Grant marched his men further south to cross out of range of the batteries.
Union Major-General John Alexander McClernand’s XIII Corps embarked on transports at De Shroon’s (Disharoon’s) plantation landing. Grant had to find a new landing point on the eastern bank of the Mississippi. The obvious point was Rodney, twelve miles downstream, but this added a considerable distance to the overland march for the troops and placed them on the south side of the wide and boggy Bayou Pierre. The eastern banks above Bayou Pierre were unmapped and swampy. A detachment of troops captured a knowledgeable slave on the east bank. He was brought to Grant and he recommended a landing at Bruinsburg, just six miles below De Shroon’s. Although Bruinsburg was still south of Bayou Pierre it was not as distant as Rodney and had a good road leading via Port Gibson to Grand Gulf.
By mid-morning, all of McClernand’s four divisions had disembarked on the Mississippi shore at Bruinsburg. They were joined by one of the divisions of Major-General James Birdseye McPherson’s XVII Corps and the 23,000 men immediately began marching overland towards Port Gibson. Grant had finally got a sizeable part of his army onto the eastern bank of the Mississippi below Vicksburg, while his diversions north and east of Vicksburg distracted Confederate attention.
The only Confederate cavalry in the area, Colonel Wirt Adams’ 1st Mississippi Cavalry, had been ordered away to pursue Brigadier-General Benjamin Henry Grierson’s raiders, so Major-General John Stevens Bowen performed an infantry reconnaissance in force to determine the Union’s intentions. Bowen had 5,500 men at Grand Gulf and moved south across Bayou Pierre with Brigadier-General Martin Edwin Green’s Brigade to take up a position astride the Rodney road near Magnolia Church, just southwest of Port Gibson. He faced about 23,000 Union troops which had landed at Bruinsburg. A single brigade of Confederate reinforcements arrived later from Vicksburg under Brigadier-General Edward Dorr Tracy and was posted across the Bruinsburg Road two miles north of Green’s position. Brigadier-General William Edwin Baldwin’s Brigade also arrived later and was positioned in support of Green’s Brigade. Four miles east of Port Gibson, a line of tall hills separated by nearly vertical ravines choked with canebrakes and underbrush rendered Bowen’s position defensible, despite the overwhelming Union force headed his way.
The absence of Confederate cavalry had a major impact on the unfolding campaign. Had Bowen been assured that the Union troops were landing at Bruinsburg and not at Rodney, he might have taken a position on the bluffs above Bruinsburg, denying them a route inland from the river. Union efforts to push rapidly inland were delayed because McClernand had failed to issue rations to his men. Nevertheless, the Army of the Tennessee moved up and over the river bluffs unopposed and pushed rapidly towards Port Gibson. Advancing on the Rodney Road towards Port Gibson, advanced elements of the 14th Division under Brigadier-General Eugene Asa Carr engaged Confederate pickets just after midnight near the Schaiffer House. Sporadic skirmishing and artillery fire continued with Tracy’s brigade and Green’s Brigade until 3.00 am. They were attacked with artillery and sharpshooters in the moonlight while a dawn attack was prepared. Wary of Tracy’s brigade to the north, McClernand posted Brigadier-General Peter Joseph Osterhaus’ 9th Division facing in that direction. Having developed each other’s positions, both sides settled down and waited for the break of dawn.

Haines’ Bluff, Mississippi, also known as Haynes Bluff, Snyder’s Bluff, or Snyder’s Mill. At 9 am Lieutenant Commander K Randolph Breese’s gunboat flotilla continued upriver, escorting Major-General Francis Preston Blair’s division (from XV Corps) on ten transports to Drumgould’s Bluff. The operation was intended to divert Confederate attention from the landing of Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant’s army the following day at Port Gibson. The flotilla comprised three gunboats, four tinclad warships, and three mortar boats. USS Petrel remained at Old River while the remaining vessels moved up the Yazoo River. The USS Choctaw and USS DeKalb fired on the main works at Drumgould’s Bluff and USS Tyler and USS Black Hawk engaged the fieldworks and batteries.
After three hours the attack was halted. USS Choctaw took nearly fifty hits although no casualties were suffered, and USS Tyler was holed beneath the waterline. The Union ships drew off. Around 6 pm, the troops disembarked and marched along Blake’s Levee toward the guns. They made a show of attacking and attempted to make the Confederates believe their strength was much greater and their intentions aggressive. As they neared Drumgould’s Bluff a battery opened on them, causing disruption and casualties. The Union advance was halted and Union artillery deployed to bombard Drumgould’s Bluff and Haines’ Bluff. This proved to be a successful diversion and the troops re-embarked on the transports after dark.

Virginia. Lieutenant-General James Longstreet was recalled from Southside Virginia to rejoin the Army of Northern Virginia with his two divisions of I Corps. He had to secure his supply trains first and the march began on 2 May 1863.

Virginia. Skirmish at Raccoon Ford.

Virginia. Skirmish near Spotsylvania Court House.

Virginia. After crossing the Rappahannock and Rapidan Rivers, Union Major-General Joseph Hooker concentrated his forces around Chancellorsville. Chancellorsville itself was no more than a multi-chimney brick-and-timber mansion named Chancellor House, with a few outbuildings at a crossroads of forest roads. There was a hundred-acre clearing that allowed some space to deploy infantry and artillery.
Major-General George Gordon Meade started his V Corps from Ely’s Ford at dawn and they moved south-eastwards through the dismal fringes of the Wilderness region. This was a tangle of second-growth scrub oak and pine, choked with vines and sharp brambles. It had been the location of wood-cutting enterprises but the many small clearings failed to heighten the gloom and few offered room to deploy camps or battle lines. Meade pushed on through the harassing attacks of Confederate cavalry, covering six miles to Chancellorsville by 11 am. The open country beyond the Wilderness was three miles further to the east.
By 2 pm, the head of Major-General Henry Warner Slocum’s column of XII Corps arrived from Germanna Ford. Meade and Slocum conferred and prepared to march on and into the open country to the east but a courier from Hooker directed them to halt at the crossroads while the rest of the army concentrated. The troops went into bivouac and Hooker arrived in person at about 4.30 pm. The advance had successfully uncovered US Ford and Major-General Darius Nash Couch was moving from the well-defended Banks’ Ford to cross there instead with his two divisions of II Corps. Couch would then continue to join the force gathering at Chancellorsville. Couch’s third division had also been started from Falmouth to join him to raise the force south of the river to four entire army corps.
Major-General John Sedgwick had successfully laid five bridges over the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg to provide the anvil of VI Corps for Hooker’s hammer from the Wilderness. Sedgwick confirmed that the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia, apparently unsuspecting, remained in its camps on the heights above Fredericksburg and he began to dig in on the western bank without advancing against the Confederate fortifications.
Major-General Daniel Edgar Sickles’ III Corps was now ordered from reserve to join the army at Chancellorsville. By nightfall or at the latest in the morning, these five corps would give Hooker a powerful striking force of nearly 80,000 men including artillery and cavalry. Couch’s corps arrived before nightfall and camped north of the crossroads and Sickles confirmed that he was on his way.

Virginia. For the impending Chancellorsville campaign, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under Robert Edward Lee was somewhat under-strength, having detached two divisions (Major-General George Edward Pickett and Major-General John Bell Hood) on a foraging expedition in south-eastern Virginia under Lieutenant-General James Longstreet. The two remaining divisions of I Corps under Major-General Lafayette McLaws and Major-General Richard Heron Anderson were commanded directly by Lee. Lieutenant-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson commanded II Corps with four divisions: Major-General Ambrose Powell Hill’s, Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill’s, Major-General Jubal Anderson Early’s, and Major-General Isaac Ridgeway Trimble’s division currently under Brigadier-General Raleigh Edward Colston. The cavalry division of Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart had just two brigades as Brigadier-General Wade Hampton’s brigade was also detached to collect remounts and find forage for his horses further south. This gave Lee just over 60,000 men Hooker had already concentrated approximately 70,000 men in and around Chancellorsville.
Lee received confirmation that Union troops were pouring into the Wilderness from Ely’s Ford and he also learned that Anderson’s division had found a good defensive position near the fringes of the Wilderness east of Chancellorsville. Lee ordered him to build strong defences for his own division and that of McLaws, which was available in case of need, and he sent an additional battalion of artillery. Lee concluded that the main attack was coming towards Chancellorsville and decided to violate one of the generally accepted principles of war by dividing his force in the face of a superior enemy, hoping that aggressive action would allow him to attack and defeat a portion of Hooker’s army before it could be fully concentrated against him. He left behind a brigade from McLaws’ division under Brigadier-General William Barksdale on the heavily fortified Marye’s Heights and Early’s division on Prospect Hill to resist any advance by Union Major-General John Sedgwick’s VI Corps.
McLaws and his other three brigades were put on the road to join Anderson. McLaws moved off at midnight and Jackson’s three divisions set out next at 3 am, assembling 45,000 men to confront Hooker east of Chancellorsville, while no more than 10,000 men were left to hold the ridge above Fredericksburg. At Fredericksburg, Early’s division spread itself even more thinly along five miles of entrenchments up to Hamilton’s Crossing. Heavy fog along the Rappahannock masked some of these westward movements and Sedgwick chose to wait until he could determine the enemy’s intentions before moving forward.

Virginia. Incidents at Westport and Simpson’s Creek.
