September 9 1863 Wednesday
Second Battle of Fort Sumter, SC (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)
Cumberland Gap, TN
Chickamauga Campaign
Burnside’s East Tennessee Campaign
Gillmore’s Operations in Charleston Harbour
Arkansas. Incident at Dardanelle.
Georgia. Skirmish at Lookout Mountain.
Georgia. Union Major-General William Starke Rosecrans’ Army of the Cumberland had advanced rapidly through the mountains around Chattanooga by three separate routes, using the only roads suitable for movement. They had moved largely undetected and kept the Confederates deceived until they were in striking distance of the Confederate supply lines.
On the right flank, Major-General Alexander McDowell McCook’s XX Corps moved southwest via Winston’s Gap to Valley Head, Alabama. In the centre, Major-General George Henry Thomas’ XIV Corps moved just across the Tennessee-Georgia border through Stevens Gap to Trenton, Georgia. On the left, Major-General Thomas Leonidas Crittenden’s XXI Corps moved directly toward Chattanooga around Lookout Mountain.
Finding that the Confederates were retreating, Crittenden’s troops marched into the city unopposed during the morning, just as the tail of the Confederate column passed southwards through Rossville Gap and beyond Missionary Ridge. Convinced by deserters that the Confederate was demoralised and in full retreat, Rosecrans urged his widely-separated columns forward, risking the wide dispersion of his Corps for the sake of speed to cut off their escape. His well-executed plan of campaign, as at Tullahoma, had successfully manoeuvred the Confederates out of their defences without a major engagement.
Indian Territory. Skirmish at Webber’s Falls.
Second Fort Sumter, South Carolina, also known as Fort Sumter. Union forces under Major-General Quincy Adams Gillmore bombarded Fort Sumter from their relocated batteries on Morris Island. After the severe battering of the fort, Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard suspected an imminent attack and replaced the artillerymen and all but one of the fort’s guns with a force of 320 riflemen. The guns were gradually removed secretly to Sullivan’s Island during the two-month siege of Fort Wagner. Fort Sumter was now no more than a rubble-strewn infantry post.
Before dawn, Union Rear Admiral John Adolph Dahlgren launched a storming party in thirty boats carrying about 400 Union marines and 100 sailors in an attempt to seize Fort Sumter by surprise. The Confederates had learned of the Union’s intentions because they had recovered a key to the US Navy’s signals code from the wreck of USS Keokuk. The infantry garrison waited until the boats were nearly ashore before opening heavy fire and throwing hand grenades and fireballs. CSS Chicora contributed an enfilading fire and Confederate guns at Fort Moultrie joined in also. The attack was repulsed with 117 to 125 casualties, including 113 prisoners. There were no Confederate casualties.
This failure led to Dahlgren giving up all hope of capturing Charleston by naval forces alone even though the only substantial battery defending the harbour was Fort Moultrie. Dahlgren was anxious about the torpedoes and other obstacles that infested the channel and repeatedly damaged his fleet. Without naval support, the Union army on Morris Island could not get any closer to Charleston. Onshore batteries maintained an intermittent and ineffectual bombardment of Fort Sumter and Fort Moultrie, and occasionally of the city itself. Eventually, this effort declined to no more than a desultory annoyance. (CWSAC Limited Battle Union Victory)
Tennessee. Union occupation of Chattanooga.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Friar’s Island.
Tennessee. As the first Union forces occupied Chattanooga, Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of Tennessee retreated from the city towards northern Georgia. Bragg’s Army retreated through Missionary Ridge at Rossville Gap and encamped with its left at Lafayette, some twenty miles south of the city. Its right flank was near Lee and Gordon’s Mills, twelve miles north of where the Rossville Road crossed Chickamauga Creek. Confederate Major-General William Henry Talbot Walker’s Reserve Corps was at Lafayette, Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk’s I Corps was Lee and Gordon’s Mills, and the two corps of Lieutenant-General Daniel Harvey Hill and Major-General Simon Bolivar Buckner were posted between them facing Pigeon Mountain. Pigeon Mountain was a crescent-shaped spur of Lookout Mountain which enclosed the lower end of Missionary Ridge and its eastern valley, known as McLemore’s Cove. The cavalry of Major-General Joseph Wheeler screened the left towards Alpine and Brigadier-General Nathan Bedford Forrest guarded the way to Rossville. They were ordered to delay the approach of the widely separated Union XX Corps at Winston Gap and XXI Corps at Chattanooga, allowing Bragg to focus on the central force of the XIV Corps. McLemore’s Cove offered an ideal opportunity for the Confederates to trap part of the XIV Corps in the cul de sac of the southwest end of the valley. Bragg intended to strike no more than 23,000 Union troops with 40,000 of his own, crushing them in the isolated McLemore’s Cove before the two other Union corps could arrive. He issued orders for a simple and powerful plan of attack to be made in the morning.
Tennessee. Union Brigadier-General Robert Byington Mitchell assumed command of Cavalry Corps (Cumberland). The corps had two divisions with five brigades. The 1st Cavalry Division was under Colonel Edward Moody McCook (brigades of Colonel Archibald P Campbell, Colonel Daniel M Ray, and Colonel Louis D Watkins) and the 2nd Cavalry Division was under Brigadier-General George Crook (brigades of Colonel Robert H G Minty and Colonel Eli Long).
Cumberland Gap, Tennessee. Two Union brigades from the Army of the Ohio closed in on the Confederate garrison of Cumberland Gap from Knoxville to the south, while a third brigade invested the fortifications from the north. The march of the third brigade from Knoxville had covered sixty miles of mountain roads in 52 hours. Around 10 am Union Major-General Ambrose Everett Burnside sent a message to Confederate Brigadier-General John Wesley Frazer stating that he had concentrated a large force to carry the gap by storm. Convinced now that he was hopelessly outnumbered, Frazer acquiesced to this third demand for his surrender. Around 3 pm Frazer agreed to an unconditional surrender of all the Confederates guarding the Cumberland Gap. Between one hundred and three hundred men managed to escape through Colonel John F De Courcy’s lines after the surrender had taken place, but the remaining troops and 14 pieces of artillery were captured.
The strategic location now came under permanent Union control. The loss of the Gap and the evacuation of Knoxville had deprived the Confederates of the lateral railroad line between Chattanooga and Virginia. Burnside was encouraged by news of the Union capture of Chattanooga and the Confederate retreat into Georgia. He decided to aim further eastwards to complete the occupation of the remainder of eastern Tennessee. He proposed to move through Lagniappe to seize the vital Confederate salt works at Abingdon, Virginia. He expected that he would not be required in the meantime to support Major-General William Starke Rosecrans and the Army of the Cumberland near Chattanooga.
