Red River Campaign
Arkansas Campaign
Hoke’s North Carolina Operations

Arkansas. Union Major-General Frederick Steele’s column pressed on by day and night, through mud and rain, from the Saline River towards Little Rock.

Arkansas. Skirmish at Lee’s Creek.

Arkansas. Skirmish at Pine Bluff.

California. Fifteen Indian men and twenty-five women and children surrendered to Union soldiers after a skirmish at Booth’s Run.

Florida. USS Fox, Acting Master Charles T Chase, captured the sloop Oscar outbound from St Marks with a cargo of cotton.

Georgia. Skirmish at Stone Church.

Georgia. Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman completed his preparations for the impending Campaign in northern Georgia, with the ultimate objective of Atlanta. His combined forces comprised about 100,000 men organised into seven army corps and one cavalry corps.
The Army of the Cumberland (Major-General George Henry Thomas) included the IV Corps under Major-General Oliver Otis Howard, the XIV Corps under Major-General John McAuley Palmer, and the XX Corps under Major-General Joseph Hooker, plus the Cavalry Corps under Brigadier-General Washington Lafayette Elliott.
Major-General James Birdseye McPherson’s Army of the Tennessee comprised the XV Corps, part of the XVI Corps, and the XVII Corps. The XV Corps was under Major-General John Alexander Logan. The Union XVI Corps was divided into two wings prior to the impending Georgia Campaign. Two divisions under Brigadier-General Thomas William Sweeny (2^nd/XVI) and Brigadier-General James Clifford Veatch (4^th/XVI) were known as the Right Wing XVI Corps under the command of Major-General Grenville Mellen Dodge. The other two divisions were permanently transferred out of XVI Corps to other corps and left to guard the Mississippi River valley; these were led by Brigadier-General Nathan Kimball, Brigadier-General Jacob Gartner Lauman and Brigadier-General William Sooy Smith. Brigadier-General James Madison Tuttle’s division (later under Brigadier-General Joseph Anthony Mower became the new 1st Division and Brigadier-General Andrew Jackson Smith’s division became the new 3rd Division when they transferred into the XVI Corps. The XVII Corps under Major-General Francis Preston Blair completed the Army of the Tennessee. Blair’s Corps was incomplete as only the 3^rd Division and 4^th Division were present (respectively under Brigadier-General Mortimer Dormer Leggett and Brigadier-General Walter Quintus Gresham. Gresham was later succeeded by Brigadier-General Marcellus Monroe Crocker. These two divisions were at Huntsville, Alabama, and only joined Sherman’s Army on 8 June at Ackworth.
Major-General John McAllister Schofield’s Army of the Ohio consisted of his XXIII Corps and Major-General George Stoneman’s cavalry division. For convenience, XXIII Corps was frequently referred to as the Army of the Ohio as that army now had only one corps. A further three cavalry brigades guarded lines of communications.
Sherman paid special attention to the engineer and work gangs that would follow the advancing army to repair the Western & Atlantic Railroad to Atlanta. They practised the repair and rebuilding of railroad infrastructure, not just to repair the line as the Union troops acquired it, but also to put right any depredations of the relentless Confederate cavalry raiders. Behind Sherman’s armies, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to his main base of Louisville, Kentucky, on the Ohio River, there were over three hundred miles of vulnerable railroads. Assuming that the Confederate cavalry, whether riding en masse from Georgia or operating as small bands of guerrillas and raiders, would be sure to cut the line repeatedly, Sherman established an enormous store of railroad equipment in Nashville, Tennessee.
The army would travel light with minimal supply trains, moving quickly so that it could live as much as possible off the land it was passing through. Sherman was determined to make sure the civilian population of Georgia sustained his own army rather than that of the Confederates.

Georgia. The Confederate forces opposing the Union invasion of Georgia were organised in the Army of Tennessee under General Joseph Eggleston Johnston. Johnston had about 62,000 men, including 2,000 cavalrymen under Major-General Joseph Wheeler.
The two Confederate Corps commanders were Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee and Lieutenant-General John Bell Hood. On 9 May, Lieutenant-General Leonidas Polk arrived from Mississippi and Alabama with a third corps, known unofficially as the Army of Mississippi.
Hardee’s I Corps had four divisions under Major-General Benjamin Franklin Cheatham, Major-General Patrick Ronayne Cleburne, Major-General William Henry Talbot Walker, and Major-General William Brimage Bate. Hood’s II Corps had three divisions under Major-General Thomas Carmichael Hindman, Major-General Carter Littlepage Stevenson, and Major-General Alexander Peter Stewart.
Major-General Joseph Wheeler’s Cavalry Corps had three divisions. Major-General William Thompson Martin’s division had the two brigades of Brigadier-General John Tyler Morgan later Colonel William Wirt Allen, and Alfred Holt Colquitt. Brigadier-General John Herbert Kelly’s division had the three brigades of Colonel William Wirt Allen (later Colonel R H Anderson and Colonel E Bird), Brigadier-General George Gibbs Dibrell, and Colonel M W Hannon). Brigadier-General William Young Conn Humes; division had the two brigades of Colonel J T Wheeler and Colonel H M Ashby. The independent cavalry brigades of Colonel Thomas A Harrison and Colonel J W Grigsby, later Colonel John S William, were also available. The Confederate army occupied positions thirty miles southeast of Chattanooga around Dalton, and in the valley of the Oostenaula River.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Governor Moore’s Plantation.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Ashwood Landing.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Ashton.

Louisiana. Skirmish with Confederate cavalry at Berwick.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Clinton.

Louisiana. Union Brigadier-General William Hemsley Emory succeeded to command of XIX Corps (Gulf) after the departure of Major-General William Buel Franklin to recover from his wound.

Louisiana. Confederate Major-General Richard Taylor managed to keep the Red River blocked, isolating Union Major-General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks’s Red River expedition in Alexandria. The 64^th USCT Infantry lost seven men in skirmishes at Ashwood Landing and other sites over four days. Confederate Brigadier-General William Steele drove the retreating Union forces back along the Rapides Road to within three miles of Alexandria. Banks calculated that his force had enough supplies to last three weeks on half-rations before he would have to consider a choice between flight, starvation, or surrender. Forage was in very short supply and Banks feared that his transportation would soon be left without the animals to haul it.

Louisiana. Union Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph Bailey and 3,000 soldiers began the construction of the lumbermen’s wing dams that were intended to save the fleet trapped in the shallows of the Red River. The river was 758 feet wide and the dams needed to extend three hundred feet into the river from each shore. High-sided barges filled with stone were then to be sunk in the central gap. The north bank dam was built with felled trees, interlocked and cross-tied. On the south bank there were few trees, so cribs were built and filled with rocks. A Maine regiment with many lumberjacks oversaw the felling and construction, while three New York regiments did the unskilled labour. The men worked by day and night, spending much of the time in the water. Meanwhile, spectators aboard the ships and on shore first jeered and finally cheered as the construction began to take shape. Confederates under Brigadier-General St John Richardson Liddell also observed, but they were too weak in number to attack and they lacked the artillery to cause serious disruption.

Davide’s Ferry, Louisiana. Confederate Brigadier-General James Patrick Major attacked Union river vessels at Davide’s (or David’s) Ferry three miles above Fort De Russy, and thirty miles below Alexandria. They captured the steamer Emma.

Mississippi. Demonstration at Haines’ Bluff and Drumgould’s Bluff ended.

Virginia. Reconnaissance from Vienna to Upperville ended.

Virginia. Confederate Lieutenant-Colonel John Singleton Mosby’s raiders captured a Union wagon train near Bunker Hill in the Shenandoah Valley.

Virginia. USS Morse, Lieutenant-Commander Babcock, and USS General Putnam, Acting Master Hugh H Savage, convoyed 2,500 Union troops up the York River to West Point, where the soldiers were landed and occupied the town. Another side-wheel steamer, USS Shawsheen, Acting Master Henry A Phelon, joined them later in the day and subsequently operated with USS General Putnam in the Pamunkey River. USS Morse patrolled the Mattapony River.
