Brashear City, LA

Vicksburg Campaign – Siege of Vicksburg
Gettysburg Campaign
Siege of Port Hudson
Tullahoma Campaign
Sanders’ East Tennessee Raid
Taylor’s Expedition to the Mississippi

Florida. USS Pursuit, Lieutenant William P Randall, took the sloop Kate in the Indian River.

Kentucky. Everett’s Raid in Eastern Kentucky ended.

Kentucky. Confederate Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan led a cavalry division consisting of two brigades, with nearly 2,500 men, and two batteries of artillery, northward from Tennessee. His intention was to ride into Kentucky to disrupt the communications of the Union Army in support of the Army of Tennessee near Tullahoma. Confederate General Braxton Bragg ordered Morgan to attack settlements of his choosing in Kentucky, but not to cross the Ohio River into Union territory. Bragg was worried about Morgan getting too far from the main army and being unable to come to his aid should it be needed. Morgan was already planning to disregard the restrictive orders and had sent scouting parties beyond the river before leaving Tennessee. He crossed the Cumberland River into Kentucky at Burkesville.

Brashear City, Louisiana, also known as Berwick Bay. Confederate Major-General Richard Taylor and the troops of Brigadier-General Jean Jacques Alexandre Alfred Mouton and Brigadier-General Thomas Green prepared for an amphibious attack against Brashear City. They had collected 53 small boats, skiffs, and other miscellaneous vessels to cross Berwick Bay from Berwick. Green’s artillery opened fire at dawn and 300 Texan troops rowed across the water. Confederate Colonel James Patrick Major’s cavalry column approached from the east, ending their engagement at La Fourche Crossing to complete the encirclement of the garrison. After a brief and disorganised defence, the Union garrison surrendered. In addition to 1,700 prisoners, Taylor took possession of twelve heavy guns, 5,000 Burnside repeating rifles, and large quantities of medical supplies and provisions destined for Union operations along Bayou Teche, estimated to a value of $2,000,000. Major had already wrecked the railroad bridge at La Fourche Crossing. Two full railroad trains and their locomotives were also seized.

Massachusetts. CSS Tacony, Lieutenant Charles Read, captured and burned the fishing schooners Ada and Wanderer off the New England coast.

Mississippi. Union raid to Brookhaven began.

Mississippi. A skirmish near Ellisville resulted in the destruction of railroad cars.

Mississippi. Confederate Lieutenant-General John Clifford Pemberton received a message from General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, dated the previous day, which advised that the Union defences along the Big Black River were too strong to permit any kind of relief of Vicksburg from outside. Johnston suggested that Pemberton should attempt to escape across the Mississippi and unite his troops with those of Major-General Richard Taylor in western Louisiana. The suggestion was both implausible and impractical since Taylor had long since departed for Bayou Teche, and there was little more than rowing boats and canoes to convey the debilitated garrison past the Union fleet. It would be difficult or impossible to ferry guns, horses, wagons and the equipment necessary to sustain the isolated garrison on the Union-controlled western bank of the Mississippi. Nearly half of the garrison was on sickness leave, mostly from disease and weakness caused by poor diet.

Missouri. Reconnaissance to Waynesville ended.

Missouri. The town of Sibley was destroyed by Union troops after being attacked and ambushed in the vicinity several times by bushwhackers.

Missouri. Skirmish at Papinsville.

Nebraska Territory. Attack on Pawnee Agency.

Nevada Territory. Skirmish at Canyon Station when two Union soldiers were captured and killed by Indians while hunting.

South Carolina. USS Flambeau, Lieutenant-Commander John H Upshur, seized the suspected blockade runner British schooner Bettie Cratzer, off Murrell’s Inlet bound from New York to Havana.

Tennessee. Incidents at Hoover’s Gap and Shelbyville.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Uniontown (or Unionville).

Tennessee. Skirmish at Rover.

Tennessee. Union Colonel William Price Sanders’ brigade returned from its raid to destroy railroad bridges and to disrupt communications in eastern Tennessee. During the raid, they destroyed the strategically important 1,600-foot bridge of the Tennessee & Virginia Railroad over the Holston River. Sanders reported that the inhabitants of the region were strongly pro-Union and large numbers might be persuaded to enlist in loyal regiments.

Tennessee. Union Brigadier-General William Starke Rosecrans ordered his Army of the Cumberland to move with 56,000 infantry and 9,000 cavalry the following day. They were ordered to set out at 3 am from Murfreesboro and to head towards the Confederate positions at Tullahoma. The aim was to dislodge Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee. Bragg had established a fortified line for his force of 30,000 infantry and 14,000 cavalry north of the Duck River, running from Shelbyville on the left to Wartrace on the right.
The Confederate defences had been strengthened for over six months and outposts were stationed along an almost continuous mountain ridge that broadened eastwards into a high plateau. The ridge was pierced by four main gaps: the railroad ran through the centre at Bellbuckle Gap, Liberty Gap was a mile to the east, and carried a wagon road to Wartrace. Six miles west of the railroad was Guy’s Gap, traversed by the Shelbyville Pike, and six miles east of the railroad there was Hoover’s Gap with the good, hard road from Murfreesboro to Manchester. Manchester was sixteen miles east of Wartrace and twelve miles northeast of Tullahoma. On the Confederate far right, infantry and artillery detachments guarded Liberty Gap, Hoover’s Gap, and Bellbuckle Gap. Confederate Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s Corps had two divisions around Wartrace, about twenty miles from Murfreesboro and ten miles from Bragg’s headquarters at Tullahoma on the Nashville & Chattanooga Railroad.
At first, Rosecrans had seen this mountainous ridge as an obstacle to his advance but his ingenious plan converted it into a screen, allowing him to conduct the first stages of his advance out of sight of the enemy. Rosecrans had no wish to assault the strong Confederate entrenchments at Bellbuckle Gap or Liberty Gap. He wanted to avoid a frontal attack against either of the two Confederate corps while they were within easy supporting distance, He needed to outflank them out of their defences and then attack them on the march or in more open ground. This required him to threaten the supply depot at Tullahoma or some other point along the railroad running south from there.
The first element of his plan was to feign an attack on Polk’s Corps and its two divisions through Guy’s Gap towards Shelbyville with Major-General David Sloane Stanley’s cavalry corps and Major-General Gordon Granger’s Reserve Corps. This was the most obvious objective as the terrain was more passable and it was expected to be an effective ruse. Polk had the stronger of the two Confederate Corps since Hardee had been weakened by detachments to Jackson and Vicksburg in Mississippi.
A second feint would be made through Bradyville towards McMinnville by Union Major-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden’s XXI Corps. Crittenden was to ensure that his movement was observed and distracted the Confederates’ attention.
Meanwhile, Rosecrans decided to mass his main strength against Bragg’s right, with the XIV Corps of Major-General George Henry Thomas and XX Corps of Major-General Alexander McDowell McCook marching through Hoover’s Gap and along the macadamised road to Manchester. Confederate reactions would dictate whether they then proceed to Tullahoma or a point further south.
The first movements of the campaign began when elements of Granger’s Reserve Corps and a cavalry division under Brigadier-General Robert Byington Mitchell moved due west from Murfreesboro to Triune to begin their elaborate feint. This was designed to strengthen Bragg’s assumption that the main attack would come on his left flank in the direction of Shelbyville. At the same time, the XXI Corps division of Major-General John McAuley Palmer moved to Bradyville, well beyond the Confederate right flank, where he could push back Confederate cavalry and move in the direction of Manchester, getting into the Confederate rear. It was only after these movements were underway that Rosecrans brought his corps commanders together to hear the detailed orders for the upcoming campaign.
During the spring, Rosecrans had repeatedly asked for a larger share of scarce cavalry resources. One alternative was to equip an infantry brigade as a mounted infantry force. Colonel John Thomas Wilder’s brigade (1,500 men in the 17^th Indiana Infantry, 72^nd Indiana Infantry, 98^th Illinois Infantry, and 123^rd Illinois Infantry) took horses and mules from the surrounding countryside and armed themselves with long-handled hatchets for hand-to-hand combat. This prompted them to be derisively nicknamed the “Hatchet Brigade”. Their more lethal armament was the seven-shot Spencer repeating rifle carried by all the men. They soon acquired the sobriquet of the “Lightning Brigade” as they operated increasingly as mounted infantry, frequently detached from the main army. Wilder’s brigade had mobility and firepower and also high morale, and they were assigned to lead the surprise advance on Hoover’s Gap.

Virginia. Union expedition to South Anna Bridge began.

Virginia. Incident at Haymarket.

Virginia. Union Commander Pierce Crosby took the gunboats Commodore Barney, USS Western World, and USS Morse, along with the Army gunboats Smith, Briggs, and Jesup, escorted and covered a landing at White House on the Pamunkey River. A naval landing party at White House destroyed rails and a railroad turntable built inside an earthwork, intended for a heavy gun mounted on a railroad car. Union Colonel Samuel Perkins Spear led a brigade of 1,050 cavalry from White House as part of a diversionary operation to threaten Richmond and divert Confederate troops from the ongoing invasion of Pennsylvania.
Further diversionary operations were conducted until the end of the month by Union Major-General Erasmus Darwin Keyes. Keyes led 6,000 men of IV Corps up the Yorktown peninsula towards Bottom’s Bridge on the Chickahominy River, where he was deterred by Confederate Major-General Daniel Harvey Hill and two brigades of the Richmond defences. Keyes’ diverted attention from the parallel march of Brigadier-General George Washington Getty by sending 10,000 men up the Pamunkey River to destroy the major railroad bridge over the South Anna River. While Getty was able to destroy some minor bridges, another Confederate brigade prevented the destruction of his main objective.

Virginia. Confederate Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart reported that the main body of the Union Army of the Potomac was encamped around Manassas Junction. Stuart suggested that he could take three cavalry brigades around the eastern side of the Union army to cross the Potomac River, thereby sowing confusion and panic in Union ranks. Lee agreed on the condition that Stuart maintained close observation of the Union army and reported its movements. Stuart’s orders allowed some discretion on the route and Stuart took full advantage of the liberty to conduct an ambitious raid.
