Go to July 11 1863

Indiana. After the action at Corydon, more than 150,000 Union militiamen turned out to join the Indiana Legion and began closing in on Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s raiders. Meanwhile, 6,000 pursuing cavalrymen of the Union Army arrived in Corydon after crossing the Ohio River from Kentucky. Morgan briefly continued north and raided Salem. He then turned his force east towards Ohio as his raid turned into a flight through Vienna to Lexington. Morgan slept overnight in a Lexington hotel and barely evaded capture from a Union cavalry patrol which fled when the alarm was given.

Indiana. Union Lieutenant-Commander Le Roy Fitch learned that Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan’s raiders were moving northward. USS Morse and USS Victory were joined by USS Reindeer and USS Naumkeag and then ascended the Ohio in pursuit. The chase continued until 19 July, with USS Springfield and the steamer Alleghany Belle joining later. USS Fairplay and USS Silver Lake remained on patrol between Louisville, Kentucky, and Cannelton, Indiana.

Indiana. Skirmish at Salem.

Kentucky. Skirmish at Martin’s Creek.

Louisiana. USS New London, Lieutenant-Commander G H Perkins, en route from Donaldsonville to New Orleans, was taken under fire and disabled by the Confederate artillery of Brigadier-General Thomas Green at White Hall Point. Perkins left the ship and travelled to Donaldsonville to bring up troops to prevent the ship’s capture.

Maryland. Skirmish at Boonsboro, Maryland Heights,

Maryland. Skirmish at Old Antietam Forge near Leitersburg (or Lettersburg).

Maryland. Skirmish at Hagerstown.

Maryland. Skirmish at Clear Spring.

Maryland. Skirmish at Jones’ Cross Roads near Williamsport.

Maryland. As the roads were drying sufficiently to permit the pursuit of the Confederates, the Union Army of the Potomac reached Middletown in three marching columns. Union Major-General George Gordon Meade replaced the wounded Major-General Daniel Butterfield with Brigadier-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys as his Chief of Staff. With the arrival of reinforcements and the return of stragglers, the army regained the strength of 85,000 men.

Funkstown, Maryland. Confederate Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart’s cavalry was posted at Funkstown and posed a serious risk to the Union right and rear if the army lunged west from Boonsboro against General Robert Edward Lee’s positions near Williamsport. Stuart decided to wage a spirited defence to ensure Lee time to complete the fortifications protecting his army and his avenue of retreat.
As Union Brigadier-General John Buford’s cavalry division cautiously approached Funkstown via the National Road during the morning, it encountered Stuart’s crescent-shaped, three-mile-long battle line. High ground protected Stuart’s extreme right flank, which was held by Captain Preston Chew’s horse artillery. A nearby stone barn and a barnyard wall provided a good defensive position for the 34^th Virginia Battalion’s dismounted cavalry. Union Colonel Thomas Casimer Devin’s dismounted Union cavalry brigade attacked at about 8 am. By mid-afternoon, with Buford’s cavalrymen running low on ammunition and gaining little ground, Union Colonel Lewis Addison Grant’s infantry brigade arrived and struck the Confederate centre less than one mile away. Unknown to Grant’s infantrymen, Confederate Brigadier-General George Thomas Anderson’s brigade arrived and faced them in the first clash of infantry since Gettysburg. By early evening, the Union Army began withdrawing south towards Beaver Creek, where the Union I Corps, VI Corps, and XI Corps had concentrated. Stuart had delayed the Union pursuit for another day. The day-long battle east of the road resulted in 479 casualties.

Massachusetts. The USS Shenandoah, Captain Daniel B Ridgely, and USS Ethan Allen, Acting Master Pennell, departed from the Boston Navy Yard to search for the marauding commerce raider CSS Florida. Two days earlier, the CSS Florida had destroyed two ships near New York and now was reported to be bound for the Provincetown fishing fleet. The recent exploits of the CSS Clarence, CSS Tacony, and CSS Archer had raised concerns for the safety of vessels in New England waters.

Minnesota. Alexander Ramsey resigned as Governor of Minnesota and was succeeded by Henry A Swift.

Mississippi. Incidents at Clinton and Cherry Creek.

Jackson, Mississippi. Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s expeditionary force approached Jackson and commenced a partial siege of the state capital. Sherman led IX Corps (Major-General John Grubb Parke), XIII Corps (Major-General Edward Otho Cresap Ord), XV Corps (led by Major-General Frederick Steele), and two divisions from XVI Corps (one each of which was attached temporarily to IX Corps and XIII Corps for this operation). The Union XVII Corps (Major-General James Birdseye McPherson) did not participate in the advance as it was earmarked to reinforce the siege of Port Hudson with two divisions (6^th Division under Brigadier-General John McArthur and 7^th Division of Brigadier-General John Eugene Smith). Major-General John Alexander Logan’s division (3^rd Division of XVII Corps) remained as the garrison of Vicksburg. Ord’s four divisions moved south of the city, Steele’s three divisions stopped to the west and Parke’s two divisions marched to the north.
At this time, Jackson was held by four Confederate divisions under General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. They had repaired and reoccupied the semi-circular line of fortifications surrounding the capital while a small cavalry division patrolled the flanks along the Pearl River. During the week-long siege, skirmishes occurred at Rienzi, Bolton Depot, Clinton, and Canton as Johnston attempted to provoke a rash and costly attack against his prepared defences.

Missouri. Skirmish at Florence.

New Mexico Territory. Skirmish with Navajo at Cook’s Canyon.

South Carolina. Operations began at Fort Wagner, Fort Gregg, and Morris Island.

South Carolina. Skirmish at Willstown Bluff on the Pon Pon River. As a diversion from the attack on Fort Wagner, Union Brigadier-General Quincy Adams Gillmore sent an expedition to destroy a railroad bridge on the South Edisto River below Morris Island. On a foggy morning, a small flotilla left Beaufort. A steamer, a tug, and a transport carrying 250 members of the 1^st South Carolina Colored Infantry, plus two guns of the 1^st Connecticut Battery, all commanded by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, passed up the South Edisto River. At 4 am they reached Willstown Bluff, about 20 miles up the Edisto, at its confluence with the Pon Pon River. Higginson found his way blocked by timbers sunk across the river’s neck, and by a battery of three guns which withdrew when Higginson landed the troops on the bluff. The expeditionary force worked until 1 pm to clear the obstructions but the tugboat Governor Milton ran aground after passing the blockage. The transport Enoch Dean moved travelled barely a mile further before encountering Confederate artillery and also running aground. Early in the afternoon, the fleet finally cleared the shoals and ascended the river to within two miles of the railroad bridge. The Enoch Dean grounded a second time and the tug continued alone to attack the bridge. Under intense fire from guns of the Washington Artillery the South Carolina Chestnut and Marion batteries, the tug was forced to retreat. The transport was freed, and the ships returned downriver, only for Governor Milton to become entangled in the same obstructions cleared earlier. When Higginson’s steamer John Adams failed to pull the vessel loose, Higginson set the tug afire, transferred its crew to the transport, and returned.

Fort Wagner, South Carolina, also known as Morris Island. Fort Wagner was an isolated but heavily armed redoubt that extended entirely across a narrow part of the northern end of Morris Island about a mile and a half from and facing Fort Sumter in Charleston harbour.
Union Brigadier-General Quincy Adams Gillmore began preparations for capturing Morris Island and parts of James Island, which dominated the southern approaches to Charleston Harbour. If Union artillery could be placed in those locations, they could assist in the bombardment of Fort Sumter, whose guns prevented the US Navy from entering the Harbour. Union artillery on Folly Island (which had been occupied since April 1863) was joined by naval gunfire from Rear Admiral John Adolph Bernard Dahlgren’s fleet. The ironclads USS Catskill, Commander G W Rodgers, USS Montauk, Commander Fairfax, USS Nahant, Commander John Downes, and USS Weehawken, Commander Colhoun, bombarded the Confederate defences protecting the southern end of Morris Island. Close support of the landing was rendered by small boats armed with howitzers taken from the blockading ships in Light House Inlet, under Lieutenant-Commander Francis M Bunce. The ironclads were abreast of Fort Wagner by midmorning and bombarded the works until evening but could not dislodge the defenders. USS Catskill was hit sixty times, but it was able to renew the attack the following day. USS Nahant was hit six times, the USS Montauk twice and the USS Weehawken was untouched. Confederate Colonel Robert F Graham withdrew his men into Fort Wagner and reported heavy casualties.
The naval bombardment provided cover for 3,000 men of Brigadier-General George Crockett Strong’s Brigade (1/1/X), to cross Light House Inlet by boat and land by surprise on the southern tip of Folly Island. Strong’s troops gained a foothold and advanced for about three miles. Two Union columns moved forward under heavy fire, converging toward the works nearest the southern extremity of the island, and then along its commanding ridge and eastern coast, capturing successively the eight batteries of one heavy gun each, occupying the commanding points of that ridge, as well as two batteries mounting a total of three 10-inch seacoast mortars. They approached to within range of Fort Wagner, while Battery Gregg was a further 1,300 yards distant on Cummings Point. Gillmore ordered an assault on Fort Wagner in the morning. The attack cost about a hundred Union casualties, fifteen of whom were killed.
