June 14 1864 Tuesday
Pine Mountain, GA
James River Bridge, VA
Atlanta Campaign – Kennesaw
Virginia Overland Campaign – Crossing the James River
Hunter’s Shenandoah Valley Campaign
Sheridan’s Trevilian Raid
Bahamas. USS Courier, Acting Master Samuel C Gray, ran aground and was wrecked on Abaco Island. The sailing ship’s crew and stores were saved.
France. USS Kearsarge arrived off Cherbourg where the commerce raider CSS Alabama was undergoing repairs. USS Kearsarge could not attack while the ship was in the neutral port but initiated a blockade from three miles offshore. Union Captain John Winslow telegraphed USS St Louis for assistance, but the fight began before she could arrive. Confederate Captain Raphael Semmes used the time in port to drill his crew for the coming battle.
Pine Mountain, Georgia, also known as Pine Hill or Pine Top. Confederate General Joseph Eggleston Johnston, Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee, and Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk inspected the salient at Pine Top, a key point in their position at Kennesaw Mountain. Johnston agreed with Hardee that the position, although an excellent observation post, was vulnerable and ordered Hardee to withdraw its defending brigade and two batteries after nightfall. As they viewed the Union lines from the crest, they were spotted by a Union battery of rifled guns at a range of half a mile. Captain Hubert Dilger, commanding Battery I 1st Ohio Light Artillery, resolved to drive off the imprudent observers. After two near misses, the mounted group withdrew but the third shot hit Polk, killing him instantly. Never an outstanding commander, he had served in the Confederate high command since the outbreak of war and was popular among his troops. He currently ranked eighth among all Confederate generals. Major-General Alexander Peter Stewart was appointed the same day to succeed to command of the Corps temporarily. Major-General William Wing Loring then succeeded Stewart interim to command Polk’s Corps as the senior officer of the army. In due course, Stewart would be promoted to Lieutenant-General, so that he outranked Loring and could properly take permanent command of the Corps. The command (III Corps of the Army of Tennessee) lost the unofficial designation of the Army of Mississippi which Polk had persisted in retaining since his arrival from Alabama in May.
Missouri. Union reconnaissance from Pleasant Hill began.
Missouri. Reconnaissance to Cross Hollow ended.
Missouri. Confederate guerrillas raided Melville and burned the town.
Missouri. Confederate guerrillas attacked Union troops at Lexington.
Oregon Territory. Incident at Fort Klamath.
Tennessee. Skirmish at Bean’s Station.
Tennessee. Skirmish in Lincoln County.
Virginia. Incidents at Bermuda Hundred and Bethesda Church.
Virginia. Skirmish near Harrison’s Landing.
Virginia. Skirmish at New Glasgow.
Virginia. Union Major-General David Hunter joined Brigadier-General William Woods Averell in Buchanan.
Virginia. The Union V Corps continued to screen the march of the Army of the Potomac to the James River by holding a line between Malvern Hill and White Oak Swamp. They were not troubled by the Confederates whose probing cavalry was kept away by the cavalry division of Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson. The two corps of the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia (I Corps and III Corps) remained in their positions covering the approaches to Richmond between White Oak Swamp and Malvern Hill, unaware of the Union army’s intended change of base to the southern side of the James River.
James River Bridge, Virginia. Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant visited Major-General Benjamin Franklin Butler to explain his plans for an advance against the thinly-defended city of Petersburg, which was intended to begin the following day. Petersburg was an important rail junction that controlled the supply routes leading to the Confederate capital of Richmond. Grant knew that Confederate General Robert Edward Lee could not protect Richmond if Petersburg fell, and he would be forced to battle Grant in the open. He also knew from the unsuccessful first assaults on 9 June that the Petersburg defences were weak and vulnerable to a vigorous and determined advance. Speed was essential to Grant’s plan so that the town could be seized before Lee realised Grant’s objective and could reinforce Petersburg.
Grant informed Butler that the XVIII Corps, commanded by Major-General William Farrar Smith, was returning by sea transport from White House Landing to reinforce the Army of the James at Bermuda Hundred. Their return would strengthen Butler’s army to 16,000 men (including Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz’s cavalry division). Butler was ordered to advance towards Petersburg by the same route employed in the unsuccessful attacks of 9 June.
Major-General Winfield Scott Hancock’s II Corps of the Army of the Potomac would be the next to arrive after Smith’s Corps. Hancock’s men would march from Cold Harbor and then across the new pontoon bridge over the James. If the construction of the bridge was delayed or unsuccessful, then Hancock’s men would have to be ferried across the river to save time. Hancock arrived at the bridge before sunset after a thirty-mile night march. Since the bridge was not yet ready, Hancock’s men boarded the transports and ferry boats at Wilcox Landing to make a quick and uninterrupted crossing during the night. To maintain security, Hancock was not fully informed of his mission to support the advance on Petersburg planned for the following day. Once the bulk of the Union army crossed the James River bridge, it would fan out from Bermuda Hundred towards Drewry’s Bluff and Richmond, following Hancock’s II Corps, Smith’s XVIII Corps, and X Corps of Butler’s Army of the James.
One advantage for the Confederates was the strength of the Dimmock Line, a string of formidable artillery positions connected by earthworks and trenches, which extended for over ten miles around Richmond and was strongly anchored on the Appomattox River to the east and west. Since Confederate General Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard had insufficient men available to defend the entire line, he had concentrated 2,200 troops under Brigadier-General Henry Alexander Wise in the north-eastern sector, between Redan Number 1 on the Appomattox River and Redan number 23, protecting the Norfolk & Petersburg Railroad to the southeast. Even so, his infantrymen were spread unacceptably thinly. Beauregard’s remaining 3,200 men faced Butler’s army in the Howlett Line at Bermuda Hundred.
