Go to June 15 1863

At Sea. CSS Georgia, Lieutenant William Lewis Maury, captured and bonded the bark J W Seaver with a cargo of machinery bound for Russia.

West Indies. CSS Florida, Lieutenant John Newland Maffitt, captured the ship Red Gauntlet in Caribbean waters.

Alabama. USS Lackawanna, Captain John B Marchand, captured the blockade-running steamer Neptune, bound from Havana to Mobile.

Arkansas. Incident at Newton County.

Eunice, Arkansas. The USS Marmora was travelling on the Arkansas River near Eunice when Confederate guerrillas opened fire on the ship from the shoreline. Confederate guerrillas fired on the Union transport Nebraska near Eunice. The USS Marmora, Acting Lieutenant Getty, pulled to shore and a landing party went ashore and destroyed the town in retaliation The destruction included the railroad depot, a locomotive, and a large warehouse.

Kentucky. Three hundred Confederate cavalry under Colonel Peter M Everett attacked the Union supply depot at Maysville, capturing horses and weapons.

Kentucky. The transfer of two divisions from the Union IX Corps to Vicksburg weakened the capacity for Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside to make an effective advance towards Knoxville with his remaining forces. He deferred aggressive movements until the return of the IX Corps troops. Burnside nevertheless launched a scouting raid towards Knoxville. Colonel William Price Sanders departed from Kentucky with a mixed brigade of 1,500 cavalrymen and mounted infantry to destroy railroad bridges and disrupt communications. However, unrest and mutiny rumbled among the Union regiments, especially those on the verge of expiry of their nine-month enlistments. Sanders and his men departed from Mount Vernon and finally approached Knoxville, Tennessee, on 18 June.

Louisiana. Expedition to Richmond and Young’s Point began.

Port Hudson, Louisiana, also known as Bayou Sara Road. After his call for surrender was refused on 13 June 1863, Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks launched a new assault on Port Hudson, which was defended by the garrison of Major-General Franklin Gardner. A one-hour cannonade preceded an advance at daybreak. The attack finally began at 3.30 am, but the lack of an agreed plan and heavy fog disordered the attack as soon as it began.
On the far left, the division of Brigadier-General William Dwight was misdirected by his guides into an exposed position north of Fort Desperate where Confederate artillery broke up the attack before it made any progress. In the centre, the divisions of Major-General Christopher Columbus Augur and Brigadier-General Halbert Eleazer Paine struck the strongest point of the central defences along the Jackson Road, and they were repelled easily. Paine fell seriously wounded. The division of Brigadier-General Cuvier Grover struck the Confederate line at “Fort Desperate” before the others, but difficult terrain and strong defences stopped the attacks outside the works. Brigadier-General Godfrey Weitzel’s division on the left was thrown back even before they managed to cross a ridge in their front that was swept by intense artillery fire. The attack was defeated in every sector.
The siege and assaults on Port Hudson had so far cost 4,000 Union casualties and barely a thousand to the Confederates. Hot weather dried up the streams and watercourses and disease began to take a heavy toll of lives as the besiegers toiled through pestilential swamps. Within days the besiegers’ five divisions were reduced to 14,000 men out of an original 23,000.
The Union lost 1,792 killed, wounded and missing in this attack, while the Confederates lost a mere 47 men in the unequal fight.

Mississippi. Expedition to New Albany and Ripley ended.

Mississippi. Two divisions of the Union IX Corps arrived from the Army of the Ohio in order to reinforce the advance of the Army of the Tennessee at Vicksburg. They were led by Brigadier-General Thomas Welsh and Brigadier-General Robert Brown Potter, under the corps command of Major-General John Grubb Parke. Their arrival raised the Union strength around Vicksburg to 77,000 men.
In rough terms, the Union siege works were manned from north to south as follows: facing Fort Hill and across the Ridge Road and extending to the Mississippi River north of Vicksburg was the division of Major-General Frederick Steele (1/XV). The divisions of Brigadier-General James Madison Tuttle (3/XV) and Major-General Francis Preston Blair (2/XV) extended the line eastwards as far as the Stockade Redan and the Graveyard Road. The line turned south-eastwards with the divisions of Brigadier-General John McArthur (XVI) and Brigadier-General John Alexander Logan (3/XVII), who faced the 3^rd Louisiana Redan in a north-south line astride the Jackson Road. Brigadier-General Isaac Ferdinand Quinby’s division (7/XVII) extended the line southwards from the Great Redoubt to the Second Texas Lunette. Smith’s division and Carr’s division were west of the end of the Baldwin’s Ferry Road and lay across the railroad facing the Railroad Redoubt. Brigadier-General Alvin Peterson Hovey’s division (12/XIII) stretched southwestwards to the Salient Work. Brigadier-General Jacob Gartner Lauman’s division (4/XVI) took the line further across the Halls’ Ferry Road and the siege lines ended with Major-General Francis Jay Herron’s independent division (attached to XVII Corps) on the Mississippi bluffs at the South Fort and Warrenton Road.
The Confederate defences were well-sited and well-built, extending for seven miles along commanding ridges and secured by 200-foot bluffs at each end. The various redoubts, redans, lunettes, and other strongpoints were connected by mutually supporting entrenchments or rifle pits. Obstructions, both natural and artificial, blocked the lines of advance in some places while cleared ground offered open targets for artillery in others. The Union army had advanced steadily by conventional siege parallels and trenches along the entire front. They also instigated a persistent, harassing artillery bombardment of the defences and the town beyond from eighty-nine sandbagged battery emplacements. By mid-June, the Confederate garrison had been reduced to half-rations and subsequently to quarter-rations.

Missouri. Reconnaissance to Cassville ended.

Tennessee. Expedition to Pocahontas ended.

Tennessee. Skirmish near Green Hill.

Virginia. Incident at Nine Mile Ordinary.

Virginia. Skirmish at Berryville.

Virginia. Union Major-General Winfield Scott Hancock’s II Corps left the camps at Falmouth. They were the last troops of the Army of the Potomac to leave the positions on the Rappahannock River which had been occupied since December 1862. Meanwhile, the rest of the Army was extended northwards on the march towards Manassas Junction. Major-General Joseph Hooker complained of unreasonable interference and criticism by the General-in Chief Major-General Henry Wager Halleck. He was also receiving contradictory pressures from President Abraham Lincoln to make an attack against the Confederates on their march to Pennsylvania while maintaining a close defence of the capital. Hooker requested and was refused reinforcements and was also denied authority to direct the forces in the defences of Washington.

Virginia. Confederate Lieutenant-General Ambrose Powell Hill reported that the Union army had abandoned its outposts on the southern bank of the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg and also evacuated its camps at Falmouth. He put his III Corps Northern Virginia on the road from Fredericksburg to join the rest of the army in the Shenandoah Valley.

Second Winchester, Virginia, also known as Winchester. Winchester was heavily fortified by forts and lunettes around the town, as well as along the outlying turnpike routes entering the town. Within Winchester, Union Major-General Robert Huston Milroy constructed or improved ten defensive fortifications, numbered Battery No 1 through Battery No 10, repairing the defences left by previous occupants. The fortifications were linked in places with roads and trenches and these were a key to the defence. Milroy manned three major fortifications: Battery No 2 or Fort Milroy was the “Main Fort” and held 14 guns, including heavy artillery in extensive works. Battery No 3 or the Star Fort was equipped with 8 guns. Battery No 5 or West Fort was a 4-gun lunette located due west of Fort Milroy. The Main (Star) Fort and the Flag Fort were astride the Pughtown Road and the two smaller and unfinished outpost earthworks were about a mile to the northwest. These latter were held by Colonel Keifer with the 110^th Ohio Infantry and part of the 116^th Ohio Infantry. Lesser fortifications were initially used but were abandoned during the course of the battle at Battery No 1 along Bower’s Hill south of Fort Milroy, Battery No 4 containing 6 guns due north of Star Fort along the same ridge line, Battery No 6 with 2 guns on a hill peak located between West Fort and Battery 7 which had 8 guns on Apple Pie Ridge west of Apple Pie Ridge Road, Battery No 8 downhill west of Star Fort, Battery No 9 and Battery No 10 on the east side of the Martinsburg turnpike at the north end of town. A small fortification called Parkins Mill Battery was four miles south of Winchester at the Opequon River crossing on the Front Royal turnpike. By retreating into the defensive works and relying on his long-range heavy artillery, Milroy reported that he could hold out for weeks against any opponent.
Confederate Lieutenant-General Richard Stoddert Ewell’s II Corps’ infantry and some artillery moved by a concealed route to the west of Winchester. Confederate Major-General Edward Johnson’s division, while moving northwest on the Front Royal Pike, drove back Union pickets at the Opequon River crossing (Parkins Mill Battery) at around 8:30 am and engaged in cavalry skirmishes at Hoge Run around 9:30 am. His advance stalled under fire from Fort Milroy’s heavy guns shortly before noon. Skirmishing and artillery exchanges commenced afterward against Union artillery located on the hill near Hollinsworth Mill. Johnson held his position at that point, pausing to synchronise with the arrival of Major-General Jubal Anderson Early’s Division.
Early’s Division crossed west via Ninevah to Newtown and moved north on the Valley Pike. Arriving at the outskirts of Kernstown around noon, light infantry and artillery engagements broke out. Late in the afternoon, around 4 pm, Early pushed back Union skirmishers at the Valley Pike toll-gate and after some minor encounters, the Union forces retreated north of Abrams Creek.
Despite these escalating skirmishes, Milroy was still unaware that he was facing the entire Confederate II Corps. Milroy concentrated all his forces in the three main forts defending the town. Having feared exactly this type of situation, Union Major-General Henry Wager Halleck had already sent instructions through Major-General Robert Cumming Schenck for Milroy to fall back from Winchester to Harper’s Ferry if threatened. Although Schenck had discussed evacuation with Milroy, he did not give explicit orders to Milroy to evacuate, since Milroy had convinced him that his defensive position was strong, and his garrison could withstand any assault or a siege.
At dawn, Confederate Brigadier-General John Brown Gordon’s brigade demonstrated to the east and south of the town with his brigade and the 16^th Virginia Cavalry battalion, while the remainder of Early’s division swept forward to capture Bower’s Hill with little resistance. Johnson extended his line to the right against very light opposition. There was fitful skirmishing in the streets of Winchester. Early and Ewell conferred on Bower’s Hill and decided on a flanking strategy. Gordon’s brigade and two batteries were left on Bower’s Hill to attract Union attention, while Early led his three other brigades back to the Cedar Creek Grade, west beyond Apple Pie Ridge where it was out of view of the Union fortifications, then north over Cloverdale Plantation to Walnut Grove. The flanking column was accompanied by 20 guns.
While Early made this flanking march, Johnson advanced a line of skirmishers on the right to distract Union attention, providing diversionary skirmishing all day from 10 am until about 4 pm. The Confederate batteries on Bower’s Hill opened fire, touching off a duel with the Union guns in Fort Milroy. By mid-afternoon, Early’s force had gained a position opposite West Fort on Apple Pie Ridge. Eight guns were positioned on the Brierly Farm northwest of the fort, while 12 more guns were placed in an orchard southwest of the fort. By this time the skirmishing had grown quiet.
Within the forts, Milroy believed that the quiet interlude indicated that the Confederates had been repulsed from Winchester. He was unaware that his command was now almost surrounded, with an entire division (Rodes’) dominating his escape route to the north. At about 6 pm, Early opened fire with his twenty guns, hammering the southernmost Union outpost. Union artillery replied but was silenced after a forty-five minute exchange of fire. Meanwhile, Confederate Brigadier-General Harry Thompson Hays’ brigade of Early’s division stealthily advanced through the corn and wheat fields at the base of Apple Pie Ridge. On command, the brigade rushed forward across 300 yards of open fields and swept upward into the West Fort, and then held it against feeble counterattacks. The defenders abandoned the works, retreating to Fort Milroy, while their own captured artillery was turned around and used against them. Hays was supported in the attack by Brigadier-General William Smith’s and Colonel Isaac E Avery’s (Hoke’s) brigade, and Early consolidated his line on West Fort (or Flint) Ridge, but darkness prevented further gains. Most of the Union defenders gravitated towards the Main or Star Fort.
During the evening, Ewell located his Corps Headquarters at the Bowers’ House, while Early’s Division pounded Milroy’s main fort in an artillery duel well into the night. Ewell feared that Milroy might escape overnight so he sent two brigades from Johnson’s division, under Brigadier-General George Hume Steuart and Colonel Jesse M Williams (Nicholls’ brigade) to block march north and cut off any escape to the east-north-east via the Charles Town Road. This was a potential escape route that could possibly bypass the position of Rodes’ Division further north. At about 9 pm, Johnson set out with Steuart and Williams and 8 guns on a night march north to Berryville Pike and then west to Jordan Springs Road, where he turned north toward Stephenson’s Depot, a train stop on the Winchester and Potomac Railroad near the intersection of the Martinsburg Pike and the Charles Town Road. About midnight, Brigadier-General James Alexander Walker’s brigade disengaged and joined the rear of Johnson’s column, leaving just one of Johnson’s brigades (Brigadier-General John Marshall Jones’) astride the Berryville Pike east of town.
At 9 pm, at a formal council of war, Milroy and his officers made the decision to try to “cut their way through” to Harpers Ferry on the old Charles Town Road, the very same road that Johnson and his Confederate division were already marching to block. Milroy destroyed his wagons and artillery, abandoned his entrenchments after dark, and at 1 am set out in an attempt to reach Charles Town. They left their works so quietly that Early’s troops did not know until morning that they were gone. The Union column massed in the low ground between Star Fort and Fort Milroy and then moved down along the railroad line and the Valley Pike toward the Charles Town crossroad, just south of Stephenson’s Depot. (CWSAC Major Battle – Confederate Victory)

Martinsburg, West Virginia. The Union garrison at Martinsburg was commanded by Colonel Benjamin Franklin Smith (3/1/VIII) and comprised 126^th Ohio Infantry, 106^th New York Infantry, the Potomac Home Brigade, 1^st New York Cavalry, 13^th Pennsylvania Cavalry, and Maulsby’s West Virginia Battery. Union Brigadier-General Daniel Tyler arrived to take command but as fighting had already begun and he was unaware of the ground he acted only as an adviser to Smith.
Confederate skirmishers contacted the Union outposts on the Winchester Road at about 8am. By 11 am Tyler learned that the Confederates had cut the road to Winchester at Bunker Hill and that the escape route for the garrison of Major-General Robert Huston Milroy at Winchester was now probably blocked. Tyler ordered his baggage train to be evacuated to Williamsport, Maryland, and decided to fight a delaying action to protect their escape. At about noon, Tyler rejected an appeal for surrender from Brigadier-General Albert Gallatin Jenkins. During the afternoon, the Confederates increased their pressure to the north and worked their troops around for an attack from the west. At sunset, the 106^th New York, supporting Maulsby’s artillery, broke under a sudden artillery bombardment. As they were being rallied, Colonel Smith withdrew the guns and the 126^th Ohio followed their retrograde movement. The two regiments headed for the Potomac overnight by a different route from that of the artillery. The Confederate pursuit was disorganised and failed to prevent their escape. Union losses were reported as 200 men and the Confederates reported three casualties.
