Battle of Devil’s Backbone, AR (CWSAC Formative Battle Union Victory)
Barbee’s Crossroads, VA
Chickamauga Campaign
Burnside’s East Tennessee Campaign
Gillmore’s Operations in Charleston Harbour – Siege of Fort Wagner
USA. Union Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips Lee issued strict instructions to the officers of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron in order to improve tactical efficiency. Blockaders were required not to waste fuel by unnecessary movement in the daytime and must not remain huddled together by day or night, especially in bad weather. There were to be given specified day anchorages and night positions. Blockading vessels were to weigh anchor before sunset and be in their night positions by dark, as conditions permitted, since escapes were often made around evening twilight, without smoke, and entrances attempted in the morning at dawn. When vessels dropped anchor at night, they had to be underway one hour before dawn so as not to reveal their position and to be ready immediately to chase blockade runners.
Alabama. Skirmishes at Davis’ Gap, Tap’s Gap, Wills’ Creek, and Neal’s Gap.
Alabama. Confederate Commander Catesby ap Roger Jones, commanding the naval gun foundry and ordnance works at Selma, ordered a substantial quantity of munitions to be sent to Admiral Franklin Buchanan for the defence of Mobile. Munitions were in increasingly short supply and the bulk of those available had been allocated to the defence of Charleston.
Arkansas. Confederate Major-General Sterling Price had about 8,000 men at Little Rock. He entrenched a line three miles long on the northern bank of the Arkansas River. The line was protected by swamps in front and had three pontoon bridges in the rear that led into the state capital. Price sent his stores to Arkadelphia, sixty miles to the southwest, and awaited the approach of the Union army of Major-General Frederick Steele from Clarendon.
Fort Smith and Van Buren, Arkansas. Skirmishes at Jenny Lind, Devil’s Backbone, and Cotton Gap as Union Major-General James Gilpatrick Blunt was ambushed by Confederates from the command of Brigadier-General William Steele. Blunt reoccupied Fort Smith and Van Buren. He led seven regiments, three of them made up of pro-Union Native Americans and one of black soldiers. Blunt was now within 125 miles of Little Rock, the objective of a converging advance by his own troops and those of Major-General Frederick Steele from Devall’s Bluff. Steele left Devall’s Bluff to advance fifty miles westwards to capture Little Rock. His two infantry divisions and the cavalry division of Brigadier-General John Wynn Davidson numbered 6,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. The Confederate garrison of Brigadier-General William Lewis was forced by superior numbers to abandon Fort Smith without a fight.
Devil’s Backbone, Arkansas. also known as Backbone Mountain. Union Major-General James Gilpatrick Blunt dispatched Colonel William F Cloud from Fort Smith with 1,500 men from the 2nd Kansas Cavalry, 6th Missouri Cavalry, two sections of Rabb’s 2nd Indiana Battery and two mountain howitzers to pursue the Confederates who had recently withdrawn from Fort Smith. Cloud chased Confederate Brigadier-General William Lewis Cabell’s brigade of 1,250 men for nearly 16 miles southwards to a village known as Old Jenny Lind. At noon, Cabell ambushed and momentarily halted his pursuers at the base of the Devil’s Backbone, a prominent ridge in the Ouachita Mountains. Under the cover of artillery fire, Cloud regrouped his men and formed a line of dismounted cavalry and howitzers, which steadily drove the Confederates from their position a quarter of a mile up the mountainside. After over three hours of fighting, the Union forces finally forced the Confederates to withdraw in disorder to Waldron, where Cabell, after waiting for a full day, could only muster 900 men. Cloud returned to Fort Smith, where he reported the arrival of several hundred Confederate deserters. Union casualties were reported as 16 and Confederate as 65.

Kentucky. Expedition from Paducah to Union City and Conyersville, Tennessee, began.
Kentucky. Thomas E Bramlette became Governor of Kentucky.
Louisiana. Expedition from Natchez, Mississippi, to Harrisonburg began.
Mississippi. Expedition from Natchez to Harrisonburg, Louisiana, began.
South Carolina. Incident at Morris Island.
South Carolina. For the first time since the beginning of a relentless and persistent bombardment of Fort Sumter by Union ironclads on 10 July 1863, the Confederate guns in the fort were silenced. Union Rear Admiral John Adolphus Bernard Dahlgren, aboard USS Weehawken, took his ironclad fleet against Fort Sumter in a late-night attack following an intensive, day-long bombardment by Army artillery. Moving to within 500 yards of the Fort, the ships bombarded it for five hours, demolishing nearly the whole of the eastern scarp. The Confederates returned a heavy fire from Fort Moultrie, scoring over 70 hits on the ironclads. One shot struck USS Weehawken‘s turret, severely wounding Captain Oscar C Badger. The Union fleet broke off the attack as the flood tide set in. Six Union ironclads had fired for five hours without facing a single shot in reply from Fort Sumter itself. The fort had been reduced for the most part to rubble, the southern wall had collapsed, and the western and eastern walls were badly cracked and nearly breached.
Tennessee. Expedition from Paducah, Kentucky, to Union City and Conyersville began.
Tennessee. The Confederate high command was anxious about the risk to Chattanooga raised by the Union crossing of the Tennessee River and decided to reinforce the Army of Tennessee. General Joseph Eggleston Johnston’s army in Mississippi was ordered to transfer to Tennessee two divisions (about 9,000 men) under Major-General John Cabell Breckinridge and Major-General William Henry Talbot Walker. As these reinforcements began to reach Bragg, he reorganised the Army of Tennessee into four corps of two divisions each.
The I Corps was assigned to Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk (divisions of Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham and Major-General Thomas Carmichael Hindman, formerly Withers’). The II Corps was led by Lieutenant-General Daniel Harvey Hill (divisions of Major-General John Cabell Breckinridge, recently arrived from Mississippi, and Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne). Major-General Simon Bolivar Buckner from Eastern Tennessee commanded a nominal III Corps (divisions of Major-General Alexander Peter Stewart and Bucker’s own division under Brigadier-General William Preston). Major-General William Henry Talbot Walker was assigned the Reserve Corps (with his own division from Mississippi under Brigadier-General States Rights Gist and a new division composed of brigades taken from other units collected under Brigadier-General St John Liddell). A reserve division was named comprising the 3,500 men of Brigadier-General Bushrod Rust Johnson and it was assigned to Buckner.
The army’s cavalry remained in Major-General Joseph Wheeler’s Cavalry Corps, but this was supplemented by a second unofficial Cavalry Corps under Major-General Nathan Bedford Forrest, who arrived from western Tennessee. Forrest now led two cavalry divisions. One was under Brigadier-General Francis Crawford Armstrong (with Armstrong’s own brigade under Colonel J T Wheeler and Forrest’s former brigade under Colonel George Gibbs Dibrell), and the other was commanded by Brigadier-General John Pegram’s (brigades of Brigadier-General Henry Brevard Davidson and Colonel John S Scott). The army now numbered 47,500 infantry and 14,500 cavalry, which proved to be its highest strength of the entire war.
Tennessee. Union Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside’s Army of the Ohio reached Kingston in eastern Tennessee after an unopposed two-week march from its base of operations near Louisville, Kentucky.
Virginia. Expedition to Port Conway began.
Virginia. Skirmish at Corbin’s Cross Roads.
