Texas. USS Sciota, Lieutenant-Commander George Hamilton Perkins, and USS Granite City, Acting Master Lamson, scouted from Pass Cavallo and spent two days protecting the landing of troops on the Gulf shore of the Matagorda Peninsula. USS Granite City covered the troops ashore from attacks by the 1st Texas Cavalry led by Colonel Augustus Buchel. A Confederate company under Captain E S Rugeley resisted the landings and lost 22 casualties. Meanwhile, USS Sciota reconnoitred the mouth of the Brazos River. Returning to the landing area, USS Sciota anchored close to the beach and shelled Confederate positions. USS Granite City then headed for Pass Cavallo to call up USS Monongahela, USS Penobscot, and USS Estrella to assist. The Confederate gunboat CSS John F Carr closed in and fired on the Union troops but she was driven ashore by a severe gale and destroyed by fire. The Union troops were then withdrawn aboard their transport ships.
In response to this threat, the Confederates began to concentrate their troops on the Texas coast around the mouth of Caney Creek, in order to protect Galveston. The 2nd Texas Cavalry, 32nd Texas Cavalry, 26th Texas Cavalry, 35th Texas Cavalry, and Terrel’s Texas Cavalry were collected by Brigadier-General Hamilton Prioleau Bee for the defence of the port.
