Chickamauga Campaign
Burnside’s East Tennessee Campaign
Gillmore’s Operations in Charleston Harbour – Siege of Fort Wagner
Bahamas. USS Rhode Island, Commander Stephen D Trenchard, seized the blockade-running British steamer Cronstadt north of Man of War Cay near Great Abaco, with a cargo of turpentine, cotton, and tobacco.
Alabama. USS Gertrude, Acting Master Cressy, captured the steamer Warrior bound from Havana to Mobile with a cargo of coffee, cigars, and dry goods.
Mississippi. Expedition from Memphis, Tennessee, to Hernando, Mississippi, and Decatur began.
Arkansas. Expedition to the Little Red River and White River ended.
Arkansas. Incident at Harrison’s Landing.
Florida. USS De Soto, Captain William M Walker, captured the steamer Alice Vivian in the Gulf of Mexico with a cargo of cotton.
Mississippi. Expedition from Memphis, Tennessee, to Hernando, and Decatur, Alabama, began.
Mississippi. Skirmish near Corinth.
South Carolina. At Charleston, the Union army maintained a constant rotation of soldiers to man the forward trenches of the “grand guard” besieging Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg. During the evening, a Confederate artillery shell burst through the bombproof serving as the headquarters for Colonel Joshua B Howell, commanding officer of the grand guard that evening. A shell fragment struck Colonel Howell, wounding him severely in the head. The incident prompted the Union commander to exclusively use veteran troops in the forward trenches. The Confederates also kept a constant rotation of soldiers through Fort Wagner and Battery Gregg. Each night rowing boats brought fresh troops from the mainland to replace the garrison. Even though they had so far won a substantial victory at Fort Wagner, the Confederates fully expected the siege to continue. Having a large garrison in Charleston to draw from, Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was prepared to continue the campaign indefinitely, trusting in the proven strength of his fortifications. The Confederate forces immediately surrounding Charleston included a division of local South Carolina militia led by Brigadier-General Roswell Sabine Ripley. They manned the batteries and fortifications surrounding Charleston Harbour.
South Carolina. Union Major-General Quincy Adams Gillmore and Rear Admiral John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren USN requested reinforcements to complete their siege of Charleston. The 1st Division of XI Corps was transferred from Virginia under Brigadier-General George Henry Gordon. Major-General John Gray Foster, commanding Union forces in North Carolina, also offered a second division of reinforcements, telling Gilmore “Charleston is too important to be lost when so nearly won”.
South Carolina. USS Pawnee, Commander George B Balch, escaped undamaged when a floating Confederate torpedo exploded under its stern at Stono Inlet shortly after midnight. The blast destroyed a launch. Four hours later, another torpedo exploded within thirty yards of the ship. In all, four devices exploded close by, and two others were picked up by the mortar schooner C P Williams. A boat capable of holding ten more floating torpedoes was captured by USS Pawnee. Within ten days, Lieutenant-Commander Bacon aboard USS Commodore McDonough reported from Lighthouse Inlet that a net had been stretched across the Inlet for the purpose of trapping drifting torpedoes.
Tennessee. Expedition from Memphis, Hernando, Mississippi, and Decatur, Alabama, began.
Tennessee. Confederate General Braxton Bragg deployed the Army of the Tennessee for the defence of Chattanooga. Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk’s Corps remained close to the city while Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s Corps took positions further to the east, protecting the railroad to Cleveland and beyond. Major-General Joseph Wheeler’s cavalry guarded the river crossings below the town and Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s cavalry guarded those above the town.
Tennessee. Union Major-General William Starke Rosecrans and his Army of the Cumberland resumed its advance from Tullahoma towards the Tennessee River and Chattanooga, overcoming significant logistical challenges. The Cumberland Plateau that separated the armies was a rugged, barren country over 30 miles long with poor roads and little opportunity for foraging. The Confederate positions at Chattanooga blocked this obvious line of Union advance north and east of Chattanooga, across the Sequatchie River and Walden Ridge. This difficult route led away from the railroad supply line back to Nashville but brought it closer to the army of Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside advancing on Knoxville.
If Bragg counterattacked during the advance, Rosecrans could be forced to fight with his back against the mountains and with vulnerable supply lines. Rosecrans knew that he would have difficulty moving supplies forward as he advanced up to and across the Tennessee River. He had therefore accumulated enough supplies and transport wagons to permit him to move long distances without a reliable line of communication. This prudent approach exasperated the army headquarters and government in Washington, DC, but Rosecrans’ subordinate generals were all supportive of this line of reasoning and counselled delay until preparations were complete. Only Rosecrans’ chief of staff, Brigadier-General James Abram Garfield, favoured early action.
Rosecrans devised a thorough plan for the Union advance across the Cumberland Plateau into the valley of the Tennessee River. He would pause briefly to accumulate further supplies and then cross the river itself. An advanced supply depot was already being accumulated at Stevenson for when they were across the river. A contested crossing of the wide river was not feasible, so Rosecrans devised a deception to distract Bragg above Chattanooga while the army crossed unopposed further downstream. After reaching the southern bank of the Tennessee the Army would advance on a wide front through the mountains. It would be a long march involving the passage through three steep mountain ridges. The XXI Corps under Major-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden would advance towards Chattanooga from the west, the XIV Corps under Major-General George Henry Thomas would cross over Lookout Mountain twenty miles south of the city, while the XX Corps under Major-General Alexander McDowell McCook and the Cavalry Corps under Major-General David Sloan Stanley would advance even farther to the southeast toward Bragg’s railroad supply line leading from Atlanta. If executed correctly, Rosecrans expected this plan to force Bragg to evacuate Chattanooga or be trapped in the city without supplies. The Confederate line of retreat would have to follow the Western & Atlantic Railroad to Dalton or Rome, Georgia, where it might even be caught on the march. The deception began with three brigades building campfires at all the likely crossings above the town for a distance of forty miles to Washington. They threw timber and debris into the river to suggest the preparation of bridging materials and made all the noises of bridge-building.
Virginia. Incident at Cedarsville.
Virginia. Skirmish at Falls Church.
