Go to May 2 1863

Gulf of Mexico. USS Kanawha, Lieutenant-Commander William K Mayo, captured the schooner Dart, bound from Havana to Mobile.

CSA. The Confederate Congress enacted legislation to create a Provisional Navy of the Confederate States. The indirect object of the act was to advance more effective officers in the Provisional Navy while the Regular Navy became a kind of retired list for older or ineffective officers. The new grade of Rear Admiral was authorised for the most senior commanders.

CSA. John Taylor Wood CSN (also a Colonel of Confederate Cavalry) was promoted to Commander and served as the Naval Aide to the Confederate President, serving until May 1865. Wood taught gunnery tactics at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, at the beginning of the Civil War and resigned his commission on 2 April 1861. In October 1861 he received a commission as a Confederate Navy Lieutenant and was assigned to the CSS Virginia in November after short service with shore batteries on the Potomac River. He was wounded in the Battle of Hampton Roads. In May 1862, after CSS Virginia was destroyed, Wood assisted with the defences of Drewry’s Bluff, on the James River. During the next two years, Wood led several successful raids against Union ships and also served as naval aide to Confederate President Jefferson Davis. Promoted to Commander in May 1863, he simultaneously held the rank of Colonel in the cavalry. These dual ranks, with his reputation for extraordinary daring and his family connections to Confederate leaders, allowed him to play an important liaison role between the Confederate Army, Navy, and civil government.

Alabama. Skirmishes at Blountsville and at the East Branch of Big Warrior River. Union Colonel Abel Delos Streight’s brigade of raiders continued to engage in rearguard actions with Confederate Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest’s pursuing cavalry. The fighting began before dawn and lasted until daylight when the Confederates halted to rest. Streight’s raiders arrived at mid-morning at Blountsville, having covered forty-three miles since sunrise the previous day. Forrest’s pursuit caught up with them again and a day-long rearguard struggle was contested through the streets of the town and beyond.

Chalk Bluff, Arkansas. After the defeat at Cape Girardeau, Confederate Brigadier-General John Sappington Marmaduke withdrew towards Helena. His line of march followed a road along Crowley’s Ridge, a long ride through the marshy terrain that offered visibility and protection for his flanks. Union Brigadier-General William Vandever (2^nd Division, Army of the Frontier) and Brigadier-General John McNeil’s command pursued Marmaduke’s cavalry division to Chalk Bluff, near La Grange, where the Confederates hoped to cross the St Francis River and whose steep chalky white clay banks made fording the river difficult for cavalry.
In an attempt to protect his men while they were crossing the river, Marmaduke set up a rearguard along the ridge to protect his engineers and pioneers as they constructed a bridge strong enough to allow the passage of his entire division. He formed an initial defensive line at the hamlet of Four Mile while posting his reserves in a second line a mile away at Gravel Hill, on the crest of the ridge above the river. They began digging entrenchments to forestall any Union attack. Fighting began on 1 May and continued into the next day. Vandever’s men were unable to drive the Confederates from the heights. Although Marmaduke’s rear guard sustained heavy casualties, it delayed the numerically superior Union forces long enough to allow the construction team to finish building the bridge, allowing Marmaduke’s main force to cross the river. Although most of Marmaduke’s raiders crossed the St Francis River, they suffered heavy but unreported casualties as they ended their expedition. (CWSAC Limited Battle – Confederate Victory)

Kentucky. Incident at Monticello.

Louisiana. Skirmishes at Greensburg, and Williams’ Bridge.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Washington.

Mississippi. Skirmish at Wall’s Post Office on the Amite River north of Baton Rouge.

Mississippi. Incident at Tickfaw River.

Mississippi. Union Colonel Benjamin Henry Grierson and his raiders were riding just west of Magnolia when they came upon a group of Confederates at Wall’s Bridge, north of the Louisiana border. Wall’s Bridge was a crossing of the Tickfaw River about eight miles from Osyka. Grierson had sent some of his men foraging while he planned his next movement to Osyka. Three companies (150 men) from Port Hudson under Confederate Major James De Baun found the foraging party and De Baun ordered his troops into an ambush position around the bridge. Union troops commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel William D Blackburn sent a couple of scouts in Confederate uniforms to the bridge to distract the Confederates there. After a few minutes, Blackburn ordered the remainder of his force to charge the bridge. After a brief fight costing them eight casualties, the leading two Union companies dismounted while two guns deployed for action. The artillery ended the Confederate defence of the bridge and they were forced to withdraw. Grierson continued the ride overnight towards Baton Rouge, covering 76 miles in 28 hours.

Mississippi. With strong Union forces reported to be landing below Vicksburg at Grand Gulf and even more troops landing around Haines’ Bluff to the north of Vicksburg, Confederate Lieutenant-General John Clifford Pemberton appealed to General Joseph Eggleston Johnston for reinforcements to help defend the city. President Jefferson Finis Davis supported his appeal and promised troops would be sent from southern Alabama and from South Carolina. Johnston offered no reinforcements from Tennessee.

Snyder’s Bluff, Mississippi, also known as Haines’ Bluff, or Snyder’s Mill. Union transports disembarked further troops from Major-General Francis Preston Blair’s division (XV Corps) in the morning to continue the demonstration against the Confederate batteries at Drumgould’s Bluff and Haines’ Bluff. They threatened an attack in plain sight to deceive the Confederates. The gunboats opened fire at about 3 pm, causing some damage to the defences. The boats’ fire slackened later and stopped altogether at about 8 pm. The inundated terrain and enemy heavy artillery fire forced the infantry to retire after completing their demonstration. After dark, the men re-embarked on the transports and returned to Milliken’s Bend, Louisiana, and the gunboats returned to their anchorages at the mouth of the Yazoo River. The demonstration distracted Confederate attention from the landings further south at Bruinsburg and only one Confederate brigade was released to move south. Casualties were reported as three wounded Confederates. (CWSAC Limited Battle – Confederate Victory)

Port Gibson, Mississippi, also known as Thompson’s Hill, Magnolia Hills, Anderson’s Hill, Magnolia Church, or Bayou Pierre. Union Major-General Ulysses Simpson Grant had occupied Bruinsburg the previous day. Union forces came ashore, secured the landing area, and had marched inland by late afternoon. They occupied positions across the Rodney road where Confederate Major-General John Stevens Bowen had occupied a strong defensive position near Port Gibson. Union Major-General John Alexander McClernand had poor maps but was advised by a local slave that the two roads his XIII Corps was following converged beyond the end of the Confederate line on Port Gibson. Union Major-General John Alexander McPherson’s XVII Corps had four divisions available under Brigadier-General Andrew Jackson Smith, Brigadier-General Alvin Peterson Hovey, Brigadier-General Peter Joseph Osterhaus, and Brigadier-General Eugene Asa Carr. Osterhaus headed left on a plantation road as a diversion while the other three divisions of XVII Corps continued ahead to make the main advance on the Rodney Road at dawn.
The two columns were soon separated by a densely overgrown ravine. Carr scouted the ground before him and determined that a frontal assault through the canebrakes would be fruitless. He devised a turning movement whereby one brigade would move slowly forward through the canebrake while the second brigade would descend into the Widow’s Creek bottoms and from there strike for the Confederate left flank. At 5.30 am, the Confederates engaged the Union advance and the battle escalated rapidly. Hovey’s 12^th Division arrived and surged forward just as Carr’s men were storming the Confederate position. Both flanks having been turned, Brigadier-General Martin Edwin Green’s Confederate brigade broke and ran. McClernand stopped to reorganise and launched into a series of grandiloquent speeches until Grant pointed out that the Confederates had merely withdrawn to a more tenable position. Reinforced by Smith’s 10^th Division and a brigade from McPherson’s XVII Corps, McClernand resumed the pursuit. With 20,000 men crowded into a narrow front of one and a half miles, McClernand planned to drive his way forcefully past the Confederate line. However, a flanking assault by Confederate Colonel Francis Cockrell’s brigade crumpled the Union right flank and forced McClernand to pause.
Sundown found the two sides settling into a stalemate along a broad front on the Rodney Road several miles from Port Gibson. On the Bruinsburg Road, Osterhaus had been content to pressure Brigadier-General Edward Dorr Tracy’s brigade with sharpshooters and artillery, occasionally launching an unsupported regiment to probe the Confederate line. They withstood a Confederate counterattack but made no further progress. Tracy was killed in the fighting.
McPherson arrived late in the afternoon with Brigadier-Genera John Eugene Smith’s brigade. Donning a cloak to disguise his rank, he reviewed the front lines and quickly devised a turning movement that would render untenable the entire Confederate right flank. Twenty minutes after the troops had been staged for the assault, the Confederates were retreating into the Bayou Pierre bottoms, leaving behind several hundred prisoners.
Bowen had been promised reinforcements from Vicksburg but they would not arrive soon enough to balance the numbers against his overwhelming opponent. With the road to his rear now threatened, Bowen retreated to a hastily improvised line nearer Port Gibson where his division held out until nightfall. Lacking a strong defensive position, he fell back through Port Gibson and crossed to the north shore of Bayou Pierre. He destroyed three bridges over the bayou and its south fork, wrecked the railroad crossing to Grand Gulf, and occupied new positions on the northern bank. Estimated Casualties were high: Union 861 or 875 and Confederate 787 or 832. (CWSAC Major Battle Union Victory)

Despite vigorous urging, Rosecrans did not complete his plans until mid-June and did not move forward until 23 June 1863.

Virginia. Skirmish at South Quay Bridge near Suffolk.

Virginia. A boat expedition from USS Western World, Acting Master S B Gregory, and USS Crusader, Acting Master Andrews, destroyed two Confederate schooners found aground at Milford Haven.

Virginia. Skirmishes at Louisa Court House and Rapidan Station.

Virginia. Union Major-General George Stoneman’s Cavalry Corps of the Army of the Potomac advanced in two columns. One moved under Brigadier-General William Woods Averell towards Gordonsville and the other under Brigadier-General John Buford rode to break up the Richmond & Fredericksburg Railroad south of Fredericksburg. Confederate Brigadier-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry brigade fell back before Averell’s advance and retreated to Rapidan Station. After reaching Robertson’s Ford south of Culpeper Court House, Averell was then recalled to rejoin the Army of the Potomac at Ely’s Ford. Buford. Brigadier-General David McMurtrie Gregg’s division crossed the Rappahannock at Kelly’s Ford and proceeded to Louisa Court House. An advance detachment of Union cavalry commanded by Major Myron H Beaumont entered Orange Springs. They encountered a Confederate force and skirmished briefly before driving off the Confederates and capturing some supplies. During the afternoon, Beaumont reached Louisa Courthouse on the Virginia Central Railroad and the 7^th New York Cavalry occupied the town. Several detachments were sent above and below the town and spent two more than two hours destroying the railroad tracks and facilities.

Chancellorsville, Virginia. After crossing the Rapidan via Germanna and Ely’s Fords, the II Corps, V Corps, IX Corps, and XII Corps of Major-General Joseph Hooker’s Union Army of the Potomac had concentrated near Chancellorsville. III Corps was on its way to join them from US Ford. In the meantime, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee had left a covering force under Major-General Jubal Anderson Early at Fredericksburg and marched with the rest of the army to confront the Union forces.
Confederate Lieutenant-General Thomas Jonathan Jackson marched during the night from Fredericksburg and reached Tabernacle Church at sunrise and moved to the left of Major-General Richard Heron Anderson’s division. The division of Major-General Lafayette McLaws McLaws was digging in on Anderson’s right towards Duerson’s Mill, covering Banks’ Ford. Jackson ordered Anderson and McLaws to stop entrenching and to join his three divisions in an aggressive reconnaissance in force towards Chancellorsville, four miles to the west. They set out at 11 am in full battle formation and behind skirmishers. McLaws took the Orange Turnpike on the right while Anderson, accompanied by Jackson, followed the Orange Plank Road. By 11.20 am they encountered Union outposts and came under artillery fire.
Hooker’s army had moved eastwards from Chancellorsville at 11 am to follow the Orange Turnpike towards Fredericksburg. They soon encountered increasing Confederate resistance from Anderson and McLaws between Tabernacle Church and Chancellorsville. The Union army was well deployed with Major-General Henry Warner Slocum’s XII Corps advancing along the Orange Plank Road on the right and Major-General Oliver Otis Howard’s XI Corps behind it. Major-General George Gordon Meade’s V Corps was moving on the left flank along the Orange Turnpike, supported by II Corps of Major-General Darius Nash Couch. Major-General Daniel Edgar Sickles’ III Corps provided the general reserve.
Hooker sent misleading new orders to Major-General John Sedgwick (VI Corps) to observe the Confederates vigilantly at Fredericksburg and to make strong demonstrations but not, as had been previously instructed, to make a major attack. Hooker ordered his leading forces to strike Anderson and to push their way out of the impenetrable thickets and scrub pine that characterised the area known locally as the Wilderness. Progressing into more open ground where artillery could be better employed and enemy movements were more visible was seen by many Union commanders as a key to victory as the larger Union army would concede these advantages in the dense woods.
The Orange Turnpike and Orange Plank Road diverged east of Chancellorsville so that Meade and Slocum soon lost contact in the dense underbrush. The right-hand division of Meade’s V Corps under Brigadier-General George Sykes followed the Turnpike but the two other divisions marched on the River Road which drifted north-eastwards towards Banks’ Ford on the Rappahannock. Two miles from Chancellorsville, Sykes’ division had become isolated from its neighbors and ascended a long slope whose distant crest opened onto the edge of the Wilderness. They drove Confederate skirmishers back to the crest of the low ridge. However, in the open ground, they saw heavy lines of Confederate infantry and artillery that opened fire on his emerging lines. Sykes sent for reinforcements and began an orderly withdrawal into cover, covered by Brigadier-General Winfield Scott Hancock’s division from II Corps.
Almost immediately, the Confederates began to advance along their entire front and soon threatened the flanks of Sykes’ exposed division. The Union forces to the right and left had followed roads that diverged away from the main route taken by Sykes. Hearing these reports of strong Confederate forces approaching, Hooker ordered the two divisions to retire and concentrate back at Chancellorsville. Sykes and Hancock protested that they could continue onwards despite the opposition. Couch concurred and said that the situation was under control. Off to the right, firing was heard on Slocum’s front but he also appeared to be in a good position to continue. On the left, there was no opposition at all on the River Road where Meade had come within sight of Duerson’s Mill and easy reach of Banks’ Ford. A further peremptory order arrived enforcing a withdrawal. Couch resisted the temptation to disobey and the Chief of Engineers, Brigadier-General Gouverneur Kemble Warren, offered to ride to Hooker’s headquarters to explain the situation and to seek a change of orders.
In the meantime, the retreat began – not too soon for Sykes’ men. Two rear guard regiments covered first Sykes’ and then Hancock’s disengagement. Warren’s plea resulted in some moderation; a new order arrived eventually ordering Couch to hold on until 5 pm. That order was received too late as the retrograde movement was already underway under harassment on both flanks and to the rear.
Information had reached Hooker throughout the day that unexpectedly strong Confederate forces were advancing against him from Fredericksburg and rumours suggested that Longstreet’s two absent divisions were with them, perhaps even at Culpeper in his rear, or more probably in his front. The very boldness of the Confederate counter-move seemed to imply that the Confederates were strong in numbers. Hooker decided to face the anticipated attack in the more defensible Wilderness and to launch a counter-stroke rather than persist with his own offensive against unknown odds and with insufficient cavalry to scout his opponent. The army was ordered to entrench around Chancellorsville.
The centre of the army’s position was held by the four divisions of Couch’s II Corps and Slocum’s XII Corps where a curved salient bulged southwards to hold a comparatively high area called Fairview. Sickles’ three divisions of III Corps formed behind them as a reserve. On the left, Meade’s V Corps extended for two to three miles to the northeast behind Mineral Spring Run, a boggy creek that extended to a turn in the Rappahannock west of Banks’ Ford. On the right, Howard’s three divisions of XI Corps lined the Orange Turnpike for two miles, past Wilderness Church where the Orange Plank Road came in from the southwest. By 2 am, the six-mile front was being entrenched at all points and the corps commanders reported that all their sectors were well prepared for a strong defence.
On the Confederate side, defence was the last thing in the minds of Lee and Jackson. They met on the Orange Plank Road near where a trail joining the road from the southwest led to the rural ironworks known as Catherine Furnace. Officers were sent to reconnoitre the left flank and the centre of the Union position but these were found to be too strong to attack. However, during the night they were joined by Major-General James Ewell Brown Stuart. Stuart reported that the Union army’s far right flank was “in the air” along the Plank Road west of Wilderness Tavern. A plan was made immediately for Jackson to lead an attack against that open right flank in the morning.
