April 10 1864 Sunday
Battle of Prairie D’Ane, AR
Red River Campaign
Arkansas Campaign
Forrest’s Second West Tennessee Raid
Mexico. Archduke Maximilian of Austria was crowned as the Emperor of Mexico, in contravention of the foreign policy known as the Monroe Doctrine espoused by the USA. Supported by French troops, the United States saw this as a direct challenge and sought continually to consolidate their control of Texas and to deter French expansionism.
Arkansas. Union expedition up the Pearl River ended.
Prairie D’Ane, Arkansas, also known as Gum Grove, or Moscow. Union Major-General Frederick Steele’s Army of Arkansas and Brigadier-General John Milton Thayer’s Frontier Division, marched south from the Little Missouri River to Cornelius Farm, on the way to Spring Hill. They soon encountered a Confederate line of battle under Major-General Sterling Price in well-prepared defensive positions at Prairie D’Ane, a circular plain about 20 to 25 miles square surrounded by forests. It was a well-known landmark about a hundred miles from Little Rock and it offered perfect ground for cavalry operations. The prairie was a strategic crossroads; to the west lay Washington (the temporary Confederate capital of Arkansas), and to the east lay the heavily fortified city of Camden, a Confederate headquarters and depot. Steele attacked, mainly with long-range artillery fire, driving the Confederates back about a mile before his advance was checked. Casualties are not known.

Georgia. Union scout to Dedmon’s Trace.
Kentucky. Union Brigadier-General Alvin Peterson Hovey’s division (4/XVI) was transferred from XVI Corps to XXIII Corps (Ohio) and was designated its 1st Division. The 2nd Division of XXIII Corps was under Brigadier-General Henry Moses Judah, and its 3rd division was commanded by Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox. The 4th Division of XXIII Corps remained with Brigadier-General Jacob Ammen on garrison duty in Kentucky and Tennessee. The 5th Division of XXIII Corps operated independently as the field force of the District of Kentucky under Brigadier-General Stephen Gano Burbridge. This made XXIII Corps one of the largest in the Union Army but only part was in a position to support the impending campaign in northern Georgia. This element was known as the Army of the Ohio, under Major-General John McAllister Schofield.
Louisiana. Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter’s river fleet was stopped by obstructions in the Red River. Union Brigadier-General Thomas Kilby Smith’s division was aboard its transports and was similarly held up. The Confederates had placed the huge steamer New Falls City across the Red River, one mile above Loggy Bayou, with a gap of only 15 feet to the shore on each side. The boat was broken in the middle and a sand bar developed below her. Before this obstruction could be removed, news arrived of the Union defeat at Mansfield (Sabine Crossroads) and the retreat toward Pleasant Hill. The transports and Smith’s troops were ordered to return to the main force to reinforce Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks’ broken army. With falling water levels and increasing Confederate harassment from the shore, the gunboat fleet faced a desperate struggle to avoid being trapped above the Alexandria rapids.
Pleasant Hill, Louisiana. Bolstered by Brigadier-General Andrew Jackson Smith’s veterans at Pleasant Hill, Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks’ men recovered their nerve and by noon it appeared that the Confederates were not going to follow up their success at Mansfield. Banks began to plan a resumption of his advance towards Shreveport as soon as his fleet had passed the obstructions at Loggy Bayou to bring Brigadier-General Thomas Kilby Smith’s division forward aboard its transports. Meanwhile, the Union supply trains had made slow progress and were only a few miles distant when fighting broke out at Pleasant Hill.
Early in the day, Confederate Major-General Richard Taylor’s reinforced forces marched toward Pleasant Hill, an elevation in a clearing in the woods slightly above the surrounding country, and a mile or so in extent. Although outnumbered, Taylor felt that the Union army would be timid after their defeat at Mansfield and that another audacious, well-coordinated attack would be successful. He aimed to finish the destruction of the Union force.
The Confederates closed up, rested for a few hours, and then, after skirmishing from 1 pm or 2 pm onwards, they launched their attack at 5 pm. Taylor sent Brigadier-General Thomas James Churchill’s division, supported by the brigades of Brigadier-General Mosby Monroe Parsons and Brigadier-General James Camp Tappan, to assail the Union left flank, while Major-General John George Walker’s division held the centre, and the cavalry of Brigadier-General Thomas Green rode around the right flank to cut off the enemy’s escape route to Grand Ecore. Brigadier-General Camille Armand Jules Marie de Polignac’s division had lost heavy casualties at Mansfield and was held in reserve.
The attack on the Union left flank hit the divisions of Brigadier-General William Hemsley Emory and Brigadier-General Joseph Anthony Mower. They drove back and crushed the left flank brigade of Colonel Lewis Benedict (3/1/XIX), and its commander was killed. On the Union right flank, Brigadier-General William Dwight’s brigade (1/1/XIX) resisted attacks by Walker and by Brigadier-General Hamilton Prioleau Bee, which had begun as soon as progress was observed against the left. The Union centre held firm but was soon threatened by the annihilation of the left flank.
As the Confederates approached the Union reserve and rear positions, Brigadier-General James Winning McMillan’s brigade (2/1/XIX) counter-attacked and enveloped Parsons’ right. Parsons’ men were driven back and then broke. Mower then led forward the remainder of the Union centre to exploit the success. Seeing Parsons’ fate, Taylor’s exposed army began to fall back, first in fragments and then in larger groups. Pleasant Hill was recaptured by Smith’s veterans, who pressed on determinedly and gradually turned the disorganised retreat into a rout. De Polignac’s reserve was brought up to stem the Union counter-attack but was too late and it became instead the rear-guard of a retreat. Green’s cavalry was distant on their foray towards the Union rear and Walker had been wounded. Taylor reluctantly ordered a general withdrawal. The Confederate army lost two miles of ground in the fighting and fell back a further three miles behind de Polignac’s protection until it could find a water source. Banks congratulated A J Smith for saving the army. Efforts to get Brigadier-General Robert Alexander Cameron’s troops to return and join the fight were unsuccessful. Cameron stated that these orders never reached him.
Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith was at Shreveport when he heard of the victory at Mansfield at about 4 am. Riding 45 miles to join Taylor’s army at nightfall, he arrived after the fighting at Pleasant Hill had abated. Around midnight, he found Taylor’s command exhausted and demoralised at Carroll’s Mill. Anxious that Taylor might continue with his aggressive operations and expend what remained of his army while the river-borne Union expedition still remained at Loggy Bayou to threaten Shreveport, Smith ordered a retreat to Mansfield and then on to Shreveport. Taylor argued that a continuation of the offensive would trap the Union fleet on the lowering waters of the Red River, but Smith was insistent on the more cautious plan.
After the victory at Pleasant Hill, Banks resolved to resume his advance to Shreveport. He conferred with Major-General William Buel Franklin, Emory, and Dwight. All disapproved of continuing the advance. Franklin and Emory recommended a retreat eastward across Bayou Pierre to Blair’s Landing on the Red River where the protection of the fleet would be gained. Dwight favoured a similar plan but the rendezvous with the fleet would occur at Grand Ecore rather than at Blair’s Landing. Although Banks had held his ground at Pleasant Hill and crushed his opponent on the field, he followed the prudent advice of his subordinates, and orders were given to resume the retreat to Grand Ecore near Natchitoches.
Banks was strongly persuaded of the need to extricate his army from western Louisiana before thirst and a greater calamity befell it. He was also mindful of the need to resume operations in Alabama as required by the grand strategic plan of Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant. A J Smith protested vehemently at this lack of determination, but Banks insisted that the army’s losses, shortage of supplies, and the advice of his most familiar subordinates were convincing reasons to retreat. Denied even the time to bury his dead or collect his wounded, Smith went to Franklin and demanded that he put Banks under arrest and take command. Franklin warned Smith that this constituted an incitement to mutiny and Smith relented. By midnight, the Union army was back on the road towards Grand Ecore. The Red River Expeditionary force left Pleasant Hill and marched overnight before entrenching at Grand Ecore. This effectively ended Banks’ campaign. He prepared to return A J Smith’s Detachment, Army of the Tennessee, to rejoin its parent army in Georgia.
Union casualties at Pleasant Hill were estimated at 1,369 men out of 12,247 engaged and the Confederates lost 1,626 casualties (alternates reports 1,500 to 2,000) out of 12,500 engaged, as well as three guns.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Cypress Swamp.
Tennessee. Confederate Brigadier-General James Ronald Chalmers’ cavalry division with 1,500 men was ordered by Major-General Nathan Bedford Forrest to leave Jackson and to seize the supplies and horses at Fort Pillow. At the same time, Confederate Brigadier-General Abraham Buford’s cavalry division would ride to Paducah, Kentucky, to gather horses reported to be hidden at a rolling mill that had evaded capture in a recent raid. Buford was also ordered to create a diversion for Chalmers’ march to Fort Pillow. Fort Pillow was on a bluff on the Mississippi forty miles from Memphis. It was garrisoned by 550 Union troops. Most of the garrison were freed black slaves with little military experience.
Virginia. Incident at Arundel’s Farm.
West Virginia. Incident at Little Cacapon River.
