Wheeler’s Second Tennessee Raid
Arkansas. Expedition to Little Red River and Little Rock ended.
Colorado Territory. Reconnaissance from Fort Union and Fort Garland ended.
Georgia. Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman heard that Confederate cavalry was concentrating near Dalton. He ordered Brigadier-General Hugh Judson Kilpatrick to exploit their absence around Atlanta by launching a raid towards Jonesboro to disrupt the enemy lines of communication south of Atlanta.
Georgia. A Union boat expedition by Commander George Musatas Colvocoresses, USS Saratoga, consisting of men from that ship and USS T A Ward, Acting Master Babcock, captured 100 prisoners on a raid into McIntosh County. They also destroyed a salt works and a strategic bridge across the South Newport River on the main road to Savannah.
Indiana. Union expedition from Mount Vernon began aboard the steamers Cottage, Dunleath, General Halleck, Jennie Hopkins, and the Jeannette Rogers. The transports carried troops into Kentucky to deflect the advance of Confederate raiders into Indiana.
Kansas. Skirmish with Indians near Smoky Hill Crossing Run.
Maine. CSS Tallahassee captured and burned the bark P C Alexander and the schooners Leopard, Pearl, Sarah Louise, and Magnolia off New England.
Mississippi. Incident at Waterford.
Missouri. Operation in Ray County and Carroll County ended.
Missouri. Skirmish ten miles northwest of Columbia.
Virginia. Incidents at Charles City Cross Roads, Deep Bottom, Deep Run or Deep Creek, New Market Road, and Strawberry Plains.
Virginia. Ships of the Union James River Division transported and supported Union troops in an advance from Dutch Gap. The Mount Washington transported troops from Dutch Gap to Aiken’s Landing and remained on hand to re-embark the troops if necessary. The USS Delaware, USS Mackinaw, and USS Canonicus covered the advance by shelling the Confederate defences, while the USS Canonicus also hit the Confederate battery on Signal Hill. During the night a fleet of Union transports sailed up to Deep Bottom in a ruse to suggest that an evacuation was beginning and to provoke a reckless attack by the Confederates, but no such attack occurred.
Second Deep Bottom, Virginia, also known as Deep Bottom or Fussell’s Mill or Bailey’s Creek. Union Brigadier-General David McMurtrie Gregg’s Union cavalry division, supported by Brigadier-General Nelson Appleton Miles’ Division (1/II), made a diversionary attack along Charles City Road. Gregg reached White‘s Tavern, less than seven miles from Richmond. At 5 pm, Gregg’s cavalry division was driven back from its positions behind Deep Bottom Creek. Confederate Brigadier-General John Randolph Chambliss was killed during the cavalry fighting on Charles City Road. Union Major-General David Bell Birney’s wide flanking manoeuvre with his X Corps followed a route through dense woods and along confusing trails and took so long he was unable to come close to attacking during the day. Meanwhile, at Fussell’s Mill, Union Brigadier-General Alfred Howe Terry’s division (1/X), a brigade from II Corps (2/3/II), and a brigade of black troops (1/3/X) achieved some initial success. The Confederate line was overrun and several hundred prisoners were captured. Confederate counterattacks later in the day recaptured the works and heavy fighting continued throughout the day. Skirmishing continued until nightfall but uncertainty in the dense woods made it impossible for the Union commanders to make sense of the battle for several hours. Casualties were estimated as 2,899 out of 27,974 engaged for the Union and about 1,000 for the Confederates. (CWSAC Major Battle – Confederate Victory)
Guard Hill, Virginia, also known as Front Royal or Cedarville, or Crooked Creek. Confederate Major-General Joseph Brevard Kershaw’s infantry division with 4,500 men, and Major-General Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry division with 2,000 men, under the overall command of Lieutenant-General Richard Heron Anderson, had been sent from Petersburg to reinforce Lieutenant-General Jubal Anderson Early’s army in the Shenandoah Valley. Anderson was instructed to operate in a supporting role from Gordonsville east of the Blue Ridge. Early’s command was raised by Anderson’s arrival to a strength of almost 23,000 men. News of these reinforcements, which over-inflated Early’s reported strength to over 40,000 men, influenced the Union Army of the Shenandoah under Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan to adopt a defensive stance around Harper’s Ferry for five weeks. At Front Royal, Union cavalry from Brigadier-General Wesley Merritt’s division surprised a Confederate column midway across the Shenandoah River, capturing about 300 men. The Confederates rallied and advanced again, gradually driving the two Union cavalry brigades back to Cedarville. After dark, Merritt withdrew to Ninevah. Casualties were estimated as 550 men in total on both sides. (CWSAC Formative Battle – Inconclusive)
