1864 August 4th

August 4 1864 Thursday

Utoy Creek, GA

Siege of Atlanta – Utoy Creek
Siege of Petersburg
Mobile Bay Operations – Siege of Fort Gaines

Tenerife. The Confederate commerce raider CSS Florida, Lieutenant Charles M Morris, left Santa Cruz de Tenerife to raid Union shipping off Bahia in Brazil.

Alabama. Troops from Union Major-General Gordon Granger’s XIII Corps invested the Confederate Fort Gaines at the entrance to Mobile Bay.

Alabama. Union Rear Admiral David Glasgow Farragut made a final reconnaissance of the entrance to Mobile Bay and ordered an attack the following morning with his fleet. During the evening, the ironclad USS Tecumseh made her long-awaited appearance and anchored at the head of the column of warships beyond Sand Island. With four ironclads now available to spearhead the attack, Farragut made his final dispositions for the fleet action to commence in the morning.

Arkansas. Operation in Eastern Arkansas ended.

Arkansas. Incident at Osceola.

Arkansas. Confederate Major-General Sterling Price organised the cavalry division of the District of Arkansas into a new Cavalry Corps of the Army of Trans-Mississippi. It was later styled as the Army of Missouri for its lengthy raid across Missouri.

District of Columbia. US President Abraham Lincoln, very disturbed by the passivity of Union forces in the Shenandoah Valley, sent a message to Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant voicing his concern. Grant travelled to Washington, leaving strict instructions with his deputy Major-General Benjamin Franklin Butler to remain on the defensive. Grant and Lincoln settled finally on the controversial appointment of Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan to take command in the Shenandoah Valley. Sheridan had arrived in Washington the day before, and he was instructed to take charge in the Valley and to defeat the Confederates there. Grant then left for Monocacy, Maryland, to inspect the field forces that were meant to move into the Valley, but which remained passive north of the Potomac River.

Florida. Expedition to Fort Myers began.

Georgia. Skirmish at Triune.

Georgia. Following the disastrous outcome of his massed cavalry raids around Atlanta, Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman decided that cavalry alone could never complete the isolation of Atlanta. He decided to dismount the cavalry division of Brigadier-General Kenner Garrard to occupy the trenches facing the northern side of Atlanta and began a period of rest and reorganisation of his other two cavalry divisions, reducing them to half their previous size. He resolved to make his next advance with a large force of infantry to cut the Macon & Western Railroad south of Atlanta.

Georgia. A Union landing party of 115 men under Commander George M Colvocoresses completed a raid on McIntosh Court House. Colvocoresses and his men marched overland after coming ashore during the night of 2 August. They destroyed a bridge to prevent being cut off by Confederate cavalry and captured some 26 prisoners, before making their way safely back to USS Saratoga.

Utoy Creek, Georgia. Union Major-General John McAllister Schofield’s Army of the Ohio (XXIII Corps) with Major-General John McAuley Palmer’s XIV Corps, Army of the Cumberland attached, began to cross Utoy Creek west of Atlanta. Union Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox’s division (3/XXIII) crossed Utoy Creek and formed behind Brigadier-General Absalom Baird’s division (3/XIV) in order to support Baird’s further advance. Palmer had orders for Baird to press his advance and to expand the bridgehead southwards and eastwards and then to exploit the operation with his other two divisions under Brigadier-General James Dada Morgan (2/XIV), and Brigadier-General Richard W Johnson (1/XIV). Palmer’s XIV Corps continued to cross Utoy Creek during the day and gradually deployed to Baird’s right. Various delays meant that little offensive movement occurred beyond a reconnaissance by Colonel Newell Gleason’s brigade (2/3/XIV). Gleason lost 26 men in an effort that netted 25 prisoners.
The frustration of this slow flank march persuaded Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman to abandon the indirect approach and to reconsider a more direct effort to take Atlanta by conventional siege approaches. He ordered a bombardment to render the city uninhabitable. Artillery was emplaced and soon began the long process of turning the city into a “desolation”. The city of Atlanta was largely abandoned by the civilian population and now resembled a large fortified camp.

Louisiana. Union expedition from Natchez, Mississippi, to Gillespie’s Plantation about five miles below Vidalia and five miles east of Trinity.

Maryland. Skirmish at Antietam Ford.

Mississippi. Union expedition from Natchez to Gillespie’s Plantation, Louisiana, about five miles below Vidalia and five miles east of Trinity.

Missouri. Operations in Livingston County, Ray County, and Carroll County ended.

Missouri. Skirmish at Elk Chute.

Missouri. Skirmish at Rutledge.

New Mexico Territory. Expedition from Fort Union began against the Kiowas and Comanches.

Tennessee. Skirmish at Tracy City.

Texas. Operation at Brazos Santiago began.

Virginia. Expedition from Norfolk ended.

Virginia. Reconnaissance to Lee County began.

Virginia. Skirmish at Jonesville.

Virginia. USS Miami, Acting Lieutenant George W Graves, and USS Osceola, Commander Clitz, drove off Confederate batteries which were firing on transports near Harrison’s Landing on the James River.

West Virginia. Skirmish at New Creek.
