December 15 1864 Thursday

Battle of Nashville, TN

Siege of Petersburg
Hood’s Invasion of Tennessee – Nashville
Siege of Savannah
Stoneman’s Raid in Southwest Virginia
Butler’s Fort Fisher Expedition

USA. Union Brigadier-Geberal George Webb Morell was closely associated with Major-General Fitz John Porter, formerly the commander of V Corps in the Army of the Potomac. When Porter was court-martialled for dereliction of duty at the Second Battle of Bull Run, Morell testified on Porter’s behalf and his own career was ruined. After the Battle of Antietam, Morell saw no field service and his appointment as Major-General expired without confirmation. He commanded the Draft Depot in Indianapolis for a time and was later mustered out of service.

Arizona Territory. Union troops attacked and burned a camp on Hassayampa Creek, killing 11 Apache warriors. Only four warriors escaped by flight.

Arkansas. Expedition from Devall’s Bluff to the White River ended.

District of Columbia. Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant received a report that the long-delayed offensive had finally begun at Nashville, Tennessee. He cancelled his journey to Nashville to supersede Major-General George Henry Thomas and decided to return to the armies at Petersburg. Grant had initially planned to replace Thomas with Major-General John McAllister Schofield and then, when occasion permitted, with Major-General John Alexander Logan. Logan had already reached Louisville, Kentucky, with conditional orders to take command. By the time Logan reached Nashville, Thomas’ crushing victory had silenced all thoughts of his removal.

Florida. Incident at Mitchell’s Creek.

Georgia. Bombardment of Fort Beaulieu and Fort Rosedew.

North Carolina. Reconnaissance to Core Creek and Southwest Creek ended.

Tennessee. Incident at Livingston.

Tennessee. Confederates captured a railroad train near Murfreesboro.

Nashville, Tennessee. Confederate General John Bell Hood’s Army of Tennessee outside Nashville had been weakened too much to make a serious attempt to capture Nashville from Major-General George Henry Thomas’ hotchpotch but numerous Army of the Cumberland. Hood adopted defensive positions close to the Union lines in the hope that reinforcements might arrive from Texas or that he might exploit an unsuccessful Union attack. The Confederates had a defective deployment, trying to cover a frontage too long for their strength and having a concave formation in relation to the enemy, denying interior lines for the defenders. Hood was unable to spare a general reserve and his cavalry was absent raiding towards Murfreesboro. He fielded about 35,000 men after the detachment of Brigadier-General Francis Marion Cockrell’s brigade at the Duck River crossings and Brigadier-General James Argyle Smith’s Brigade with the cavalry.
Thomas finally put his army in motion to attack Hood. His force comprised about 55,000 men. The IV Corps of the Army of the Cumberland was led by Brigadier-General Thomas John Wood. Brigadier-General George Day Wagner had requested to be relieved of command of the 2^nd Division after his failure at Franklin and Brigadier-General Washington Lafayette Elliott succeeded him. The IV Corps counted 15,100 men and 30 guns. The XXIII Corps of the Army of the Ohio also provided a veteran core of 10,400 men under Major-General John McAllister Schofield. One of Schofield’s division commanders, Brigadier-General Thomas Howard Ruger, was ill and he was replaced by Major-General Darius Nash Couch. Two divisions of XVI Corps had arrived from Missouri under Major-General Andrew Jackson Smith adding 11,900 veteran soldiers and 48 guns. The provisional command of Major-General James Blair Steedman was a mixed force of 5,000 men, including a division with two brigades of black soldiers, and two composite brigades made up of detachments from a number of commands and rear echelons, including the permanent garrison of the post of Nashville (2/4/XX). The 62 guns in the fortifications of the city would play little part in the attack but provided security. The Union cavalry had been growing gradually as remounted troops returned to the army. Major-General James Harrison Wilson had now accumulated 7,800 troopers with 16 guns. The 6^th Cavalry Division and 7^th Cavalry Division had arrived to supplement Brigadier-General Edward Hatch’s 5^th Division and Brigadier-General John Thomas Croxton’s brigade from the 1^st Cavalry Division, which had been in action since the start of the campaign.
Although some Union troop movements began as early as 4 am, heavy fog delayed the main advance past the scheduled time of 6 am. By 7 am the advance was finally underway and the first contact with the enemy came at about 8 am. The initial diversionary, attack was made by two brigades of black soldiers from Steedman’s provisional force on the Confederate right flank between the Nolensville Pike and the Railroad. Steedman’s three brigades traversed the muddy Brown’s Creek with difficulty and then stalled against Confederate General Hiram Bronson’s Granbury’s brigade posted on Rains Hill and in a steep railroad cutting beyond it. The first attack was driven back in disorder and a second attack was repelled during the following two hours. The attack was resumed a third time at 11 am and succeeded in capturing the Confederate works around the Rains houses. The attack failed to attract a shift of Confederate reinforcements to Riddle’s Hill, but it did succeed in pinning down most of Lieutenant-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham’s Corps for the rest of the day.
Muddy roads delayed the launch of the Union attack on the opposite flank. The main attack was launched by Smith’s command, Wood’s IV Corps, and a dismounted cavalry brigade from Hatch’s division. This flank was exposed because Hood had sent the bulk of his cavalry to Murfreesboro. The advance was to be preceded by Wilson’s 9,000 cavalrymen, many of them armed with 7-shot repeating carbines. Wilson moved forward at 8.30 am but he was immediately delayed by Smith’s infantry who were trudging eastwards across his front to align more closely with Wood on their left. After an hour of waiting for them to pass, Wilson resumed his advance. His departure instigated the grand left wheel by the Union attackers onto and beyond the Confederate left flank.
By 10 am, Union Brigadier-General John McArthur’s division (1/XVI) had cleared the Hardin Pike for Hatch’s cavalry division to take up a position on the flank of the advancing column. The remainder of Wilson’s cavalry corps moved beyond to screen further to the southwest on the Hardin Pike and Charlotte Pike. Union Brigadier-General Richard W Johnson led the 6^th Cavalry Division along the Charlotte Pike in order to attack the Confederate batteries on the banks of the Cumberland River. They swept aside the Confederate cavalry screen and reached Bell’s Mill after midday. They were supported by the gunboats in suppressing the Confederate batteries until nightfall at 4.30pm.
By noon, the Smith’s Union XVI Corps had crossed the Hardin Pike and confronted the Confederate works of Lieutenant-General Alexander Peter Stewart’s Corps, which ran southwestwards along the Hillsboro Pike. Meanwhile, Wood’s IV Corps and Schofield’s XXIII Corps waited in reserve. The main Union attack wheeled left to form a line parallel to the Hillsboro Pike. By noon, their advance had reached the Pike. Thomas ordered Wood’s Corps forward from Lawrence Hill to instigate the assault at Montgomery Hill, a strong outpost midway between the two opposing lines near the centre of the Confederate line. The Confederates held Montgomery Hill with a thin skirmish line while their main line was half a mile to the rear behind the reverse slope, secure from long-range artillery bombardment. The Union advance took shape with five divisions in the main line, from left to right under Brigadier-General Samuel Beatty (3/IV), Brigadier-General Nathan Kimball (1/IV), Brigadier-General Washington Lafayette Elliott (2/IV), Brigadier-General Kenner Garrard (2/XVI), and Brigadier-General John McArthur (1/XVI). Stewart’s Confederate Corps presented a front from south to north manned by the brigades of Brigadier-General Daniel Harris Reynolds, Brigadier-General Charles Miller Shelley, and Brigadier-General George Doherty Johnston from Major-General Edward Cary Walthall’s division. Confederate Brigadier-General Claudius Wistar Sears’ brigade of French’s division took the line to tip of the north-western salient. Turning the salient, facing north, were brigades of Colonel Robert Lowry, the late Brigadier-General Thomas Moore Scott, and Brigadier-General Winfield Scott Featherston from Major-General William Wing Loring’s division. On Stewart’s right was the corps of Lieutenant-General Stephen Dill Lee, and then came Cheatham’s Corps. After Coleman’s brigade was dislodged from its outpost position it was moved two miles out to the extreme left of Walthall’s division. The dispersion of troops left Stewart with about 4,800 men to face the immediate onslaught of about 48,000 men in Thomas’ main attacking force. Wood’s IV Corps advanced at 12.30 pm. Colonel Philip Sidney Post’s brigade (2/3/IV) was the Union spearhead, and it quickly captured Montgomery’s Hill. The success was short-lived as it was realised that this was just an outpost line and a much stronger line lay beyond. By about 1 pm, the advance by Wood’s right-hand divisions caused a salient to form in Hood’s line on Stewart’s front. Hood became concerned about the threat on this flank and ordered Lee to send reinforcements to Stewart. Lee sent two of his brigades under Brigadier-General Arthur Middleton Manigault and Brigadier-General Zachariah Cantey Deas from Major-General Edward Johnson’s division to oppose this flanking attack. They took positions behind a stone wall east of the Hillsboro Pike but, as the Union advance moved inexorably forward, they soon broke and ran. Cheatham was also ordered to send Major-General William Brimage Bate’s division from his less endangered right flank but they had a longer distance to travel to the threatened sector. Thomas ordered Wood to engage the salient while Smith’s XVI Corps and Wilson’s cavalry continued to advance on his right.
On the right side of the Union attack, Walthall and Loring held out initially against Smith’s XVI Corps. The Confederates held three unfinished redoubts of four guns each (Redoubts No 3, 4, and 5 from north to south) along the ridge west of the Hillsboro Pike. While the attack was overrunning Montgomery’s Hill to their right, the three redoubts were subjected to heavy artillery fire from at a range of half a mile. After an hour of bombardment, the artillery subsided, and the Union infantry advanced in several waves at about 1.30 pm. Wilson and Smith drove Colonel David Coleman’s (formerly Ector’s) brigade from Major-General Samuel Gibbs French’s division from the most advanced Confederate outpost works and then pressed up to face the main Confederate defences. The 1^st Brigade of McArthur’s division (Colonel William Linn McMillen) and Hatch’s cavalry captured the rearmost fort of the Confederate line, taking 150 prisoners and four guns. McArthur’s 2^nd Brigade (Colonel Lucius Frederick Hubbard) reinforced the 1^st to capture a second fort with 300 prisoners and four more guns, while his 3^rd Brigade (Colonel Sylvester G Hill) occupied a third fort. As they continued to crush the exposed end of the line, the 3^rd Division of XVI Corps headed for the main line of defence where the Confederates manned a long stone wall along the pike and three unfinished redoubts. Wilson’s dismounted cavalry quickly overwhelmed the unsupported Redoubt No 5 from all sides. Confederate Captain Charles Lumsden’s Alabama battery held Redoubt No 4 with his four guns and a hundred infantrymen. They held out against attacks by a dozen Union regiments, and it took three hours to drive them out of their defences. This allowed time for the two brigades of Johnson’s Confederate division (Manigault’s and Deas’) to arrive in the rear while two more toiled to join them. The Union troops took over Redoubt No 4 and brought their artillery to the crest to begin the attack against Walthall’s division lining the stone wall of the Hillsboro Pike. On their left, McArthur’s division (1/XVI) captured Redoubt No 3. McArthur was pounded from Redoubt No 2 across the turnpike and led his men onwards to take a second stronghold. They turned the captured guns northwards to face Redoubt 1, which was already under pressure from Wood’s IV Corps advancing over Montgomery Hill. Twelve Union guns were brought up to land point-blank fire at this angle held by Shelley’s and Johnston’s brigades of Walthall’s division. After a half-hour of battering, Elliott’s division (2/IV) was ordered to take the salient. Elliott delayed while he waited for Smith’s Corps to form securely on his right. Wood ordered Kimball’s division (1/IV) to attack instead and they went forward to hit the salient from the front. Kimball’s men poured forward and overran Redoubt No 1 with its four guns and many prisoners in the neighbouring works. Elliott’s troops joined in from the west to complete the success. Sears extricated most of his men but he fell severely wounded.
Schofield was then ordered forward from reserve and extended the envelopment by moving still further south beyond the present scene of fighting. Couch’s division (2/XXIII) moved up and advanced virtually unopposed beyond Walthall’s left flank. One of Couch’s brigades (Brigadier-General Joseph Alexander 1/2/XXIII) captured a portion of the ridge parallel to the Granny White or Craning Pike while his two other brigades consolidated possession of this critical point. Two brigades from Major-General Jacob Dolson Cox’s division (3/XXIII) moved onto Couch’s right while Colonel Israel Newton Stiles brigade (3/3/XXIII) protected the flank from west of Richland Creek. The attacking force was overwhelming and Stewart’s position along the pike slowly became untenable. Stewart ordered his Corps, already outflanked to the left by Schofield’s virtually unopposed advance, to fall back to the Granny Smith Pike, a mile further back. A rout was barely averted as Stewart began to retreat toward the Granny White Turnpike between 4.45 pm and sunset at around 5.45 pm. The Confederate centre fell back steadily and Johnson’s two brigades opposite Redoubt No 4 were charged and forced back along with the rest of the line. They reformed along the Granny White Pike, where the two other brigades of Johnson’s division and Bates’ division had finally arrived from the right to hold the position. Stewart rallied his troops and secured his right flank against the left of Lee’s Corps. Darkness intervened to halt the Union advance and to avoid the loss of any more than the sixteen Confederate guns already captured by the Union.
Gunboats of the Union Mississippi River Squadron, commanded by Lieutenant-Commander Leroy Fitch, also provided support along the banks of the Tennessee River. The ironclad USS Carondelet and the monitor USS Neosho were accompanied by the six tinclad gunboats USS Silver Lake, USS Brilliant, USS Reindeer, USS Moose, USS Fairplay, and USS Springfield. They waited until the afternoon to attack the main Confederate battery on the Cumberland River near Nashville. As soon as Union cavalry had reached a position in the rear of the Confederate artillery, USS Neosho and USS Carondelet moved down and found that the Confederates had tried to remove the guns to escape the encirclement. The Union cavalry closed in and captured them against little resistance. The Union gunboats then engaged more batteries further down the river and either silenced or distracted the Confederate gunners while Hatch’s Union cavalry encircled them. By the afternoon, all the Confederate batteries on the Cumberland had been captured or cleared.
The Union advance had approached within a quarter-mile of the Harpeth Hills where the Confederates began to build new defences ready for the next day’s fighting. By nightfall, the Confederate left flanking brigade under Coleman, which had been pushed across Richland Creek and away from the main line, was recalled and rallied on Walthall’s left. Hood personally ordered these 700 Texans, many of whom were dismounted cavalrymen, to Shy’s Hill where they formed the extreme left flank of the new line along the Granny White Pike. They were reinforced by the three brigades of Bate’s relocated division, although little confidence was lodged in this command as it had not distinguished itself in recent weeks. The Union cavalry under Wilson had been unable to put enough force on the turnpike to hamper the Confederate movement since many of his troopers were participating as dismounted infantry in the assault. Thomas was unable to determine whether the Confederates would retreat during the night and gave no orders for the continuation of the advance. The Union corps commanders reorganised their commands and prepared to probe for the Confederate positions at dawn. Although the victory was not yet achieved, Thomas would be promoted to Major-General in the US Regular Army, to date from this day.
After dark, Hood consolidated his entire line along the base of a ridge in the Brentwood hills and moved troops from Cheatham on the right flank to reinforce his left. The far left flank in the west was fixed at Shy’s Hill and the line ran eastwards as far as Peach Orchard Hill and Overton Hill on the right. Both key hills were fortified with new works. This position retained control over the two main roads by which the army could retreat southwards, the Granny White Pike and the Franklin Pike.
