Georgia. Union demonstration at Resaca.

Georgia. Skirmish at Buzzard’s Roost Gap.

Georgia. Skirmish at Sugar Valley.

Rocky Face Ridge, Georgia, also known as Mill Creek, Buzzard Roost Gap, Mill Creek Gap, or Dug Gap. Confederate General Joseph Eggleston Johnston had entrenched his Army of Tennessee along the long, high, sheer mountain of Rocky Face Ridge, which ran eastwards and across Crow Creek Valley. The position was named the “Gibraltar of Georgia” by Union troops. Lieutenant-General William Joseph Hardee’s Corps was positioned west of Dalton on top of the ridge. Lieutenant-General John Bell Hood’s troops occupied the ridgeline and then across Crow Valley to Pickett Top, with a refused flank across Hamilton Mountain towards Dalton. A detached division held Dalton and a smaller detachment guarded Dug Cap. There were three gaps passable for a large force, but each was easy to block with infantry and artillery. However, if the position could be turned, it could become a trap for its occupants.
As Union Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman approached, he decided to demonstrate against the position with two columns while he sent a third one through Snake Creek Gap. Major-General George Henry Thomas brought the Army of the Cumberland along the railroad from Ringgold and went into position west of Mill Creek Gap. Major-General John McAllister Schofield’s Army of the Ohio moved southwards and faced Crow Valley. on Thomas’ left They skirmished with the Confederate cavalry guarding Varnell’s Station, north of Dalton. These two diversionary columns were clearly visible to the Confederates.
The Union armies advanced to engage the enemy at Buzzard Roost (Mill Creek Gap) and at Dug Gap. Brigadier-General Charles Garrison Harker’s brigade (3/2/IV) advanced along Rocky Face Ridge while the divisions of Brigadier-General Thomas John Wood (3/IV), Brigadier-General Jefferson Columbus Davis (2/XIV), and Major-General Daniel Butterfield (3/XX) advanced frontally to develop the strength and location of the Confederate defences at Buzzard Gap.
Union Brigadier-General John White Geary’s division (2/XX) made a strong feint towards Dug Cap where the Lafayette to Dalton road crosses Rocky Face Ridge. Their advance was preceded by the 119th New York Infantry, deployed as skirmishers, and they ascended a steep ridge towards the rocky palisades at the crest held by Hardee’s men. Colonel Buschbeck’s 2nd Brigade and Colonel Charles Candy’s 3rd Brigade made up the battle line but their attack was repulsed after reaching the top of the slope. On the third attempt, a few men from the 33rd New Jersey Infantry, supported by McGill’s battery of rifled guns, gained a foothold on the crest about half a mile to the right of the gap. The Confederates were quickly reinforced, and the attackers retreated after darkness fell. Union casualties were 357 men in total. Confederate losses were not reported. (CWSAC Formative Battle Union Victory)

Snake Creek Gap, Georgia. While the main Union force distracted the Confederates at Dug Gap and Mill Creek Gap, Major-General James Birdseye McPherson’s Army of the Tennessee passed onto their right flank through Snake Creek Gap and advanced against little opposition. They aimed to hit the Western & Atlantic Railroad at Resaca in order to cut off the Confederate Army of Tennessee on Rocky Face Ridge.

Louisiana. Incidents at Middle Bayou, Alexandria, and Bayou Teche.

Louisiana. Skirmish at Bayou Robert.

Louisiana. The Union ironclads USS Osage and USS Neosho and the wooden steamer USS Fort Hindman passed the upper falls at Alexandria and prepared to make a run through the rapids, using the temporary rise in water levels afforded by the improvised wing dams. The dams were almost complete, and the river rose by one foot between sunset and midnight. It was now six feet deep and only one more foot of water was needed to save the first ships. The dams began to give way under the increased pressure of the water and orders were given for an attempt to pass the dams to be made in the morning.

Missouri. Incident at Randolph County.

North Carolina. Confederate Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard telegraphed Richmond from his headquarters at Weldon that his health had improved sufficiently for him to travel north to take over the defence of Richmond and Petersburg.

North Carolina. Three brigades from Confederate Major-General Robert Frederick Hoke’s division (two of his brigades were already serving there with Major-General George Edward Pickett) were recalled from the operations in North Carolina to reinforce the defences of Petersburg. They proceeded to Goldsboro to take the trains north, but their progress was delayed by the destruction of the Nottoway and Stony Creek brigades on the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad by the cavalry of Union Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz. Hoke’s transfer left Confederate Major-General William Henry Chase Whiting to hold Wilmington and most of North Carolina with only small local garrisons.

Virginia. Skirmish at Corbin’s Bridge.

Virginia. Skirmish at Tood’s Tavern.

Virginia. Skirmish at Alsop’s Farm.

Virginia. Skirmish at Laurel Hill.

Virginia. Union operation on the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad began.

Virginia Skirmish at Piney Branch Ford.

Virginia Skirmish at Port Walthall Junction.

Virginia. The Union cavalry division of Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz captured and burned the 210-foot long Nottoway Bridge on the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad, five miles south of Stony Creek. This action seriously hindered the transport of Confederate supplies and reinforcements to Virginia. Kautz then headed north to join the Union garrison at City Point.

Virginia. Skirmish at Jarratt’s Station involving Union Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz.

Virginia. Skirmish at White’s Bridge involving Union Brigadier-General August Valentine Kautz.

Virginia. Union cavalry from the division of Brigadier-General David McMurtrie Gregg reported 250 casualties as his troops skirmished relentlessly with Confederate cavalry around Todd’s Tavern, about a mile south of the Wilderness. They attempted to push southwards but were blocked.

Spotsylvania, Virginia, or Spotsylvania Court House. At dawn, Confederate Major-General Richard Heron Anderson’s I Corps halted its overnight march three miles from Spotsylvania and half a mile short of the Po River. Major-General Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry was blocking the Brock Road between Todd’s Tavern at Alsop’s Farm, screening Anderson’s line of march by skirmishing and delaying the approaching Union columns.
Fitzhugh Lee deployed his few guns at the southern edge of the Wilderness around Alsop’s Farm and prepared for a last-ditch defence. When he came under sustained attack around dawn, he sent couriers requesting urgent artillery and infantry support from Anderson. Lee’s couriers met Anderson just as his column resumed its march and was passing the Block House, within two miles of Spotsylvania. Anderson responded immediately and marched to the sound of the firing. The two leading brigades of Colonel John W Henagan and Brigadier-General Benjamin Grubb Humphreys ran the last mile and joined Fitzhugh Lee’s troopers behind their improvised rail-fence defences, just in time to repel the first Union attack. This was delivered by Brigadier-General John Cleveland Robinson’s division of Major-General Gouverneur Kemble Warren’s V Corps, which had led a ten-mile overnight march. Robinson saw that the Confederates occupied thick woods at the top of a low ridge, on the far side of a shallow valley filled with lighter timber. He asked Warren for time to deploy his three brigades, but Warren insisted on speed and the first brigade went ahead unsupported. They were struck at sixty yards not by carbine fire from dismounted cavalrymen but by intense rifle fire from infantry, and they fell back immediately. A second and heavier Union advance became entangled with the first and failed to have any impact. Robinson was wounded as he tried to maintain the momentum. More Confederates arrived near Alsop’s just in time to drive back a strong attack by the third of Robinson’s Union brigades, which was hit in the flank by a counter-attack and gave way. In less than an hour of fighting, Robinson had been permanently disabled and 1,200 of his men were lost for no gain of ground. Robinson’s division was so badly mangled that it was broken up the next day and its survivors dispersed among the other three divisions of the Corps.
As the Union troops recovered from finding infantry unexpectedly emplaced in their front, Warren prepared for a more considered attack with his second and third divisions as they arrived. Anderson reinforced the left of his two brigades with the division of Confederate Major-General Charles William Field when they arrived.
At this time Spotsylvania Court House, southeast of Alsop’s, was being defended by Brigadier-General Thomas Lafayette Rosser’s lone cavalry brigade against superior Union cavalry. Rosser also requested reinforcements. Fitzhugh Lee sent some cavalrymen and Anderson sent on his last two available brigades under Brigadier-General William Tatum Wofford and Brigadier-General Goode Bryan. Relentless Union pressure enabled Union Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson’s cavalry to take Spotsylvania from the Confederates but, after realising that this placed the Confederates between his cavalrymen and the rest of the Union army, they were hastily withdrawn. This prudent retreat freed Wofford and Bryan to rejoin the rest of their division (Major-General Joseph Brevard Kershaw) and Field’s division across the road near Alsop’s, while Fitzhugh Lee pulled out and concentrated his cavalry at Spotsylvania.
At Alsop’s, the Union infantry began to entrench in a semi-circular line facing the two Confederate divisions. The Confederates followed suit, strengthening a position that extended one mile west of and half a mile east of the Brock Road, roughly a mile and a half from Spotsylvania. The Union army slowly accumulated men as they arrived along the Brock Road. Eventually, Warren’s four divisions had been strengthened by Major=General John Sedgwick’s three divisions of VI Corps. The seven Union divisions faced two vigorously entrenching Confederate divisions. Warren and Sedgwick and began to plan slowly and laboriously for a fourth attack.
Confederate General Robert Edward Lee arrived at 2.30 pm and immediately recognised the danger to Anderson’s exposed divisions. He sent for Lieutenant-General Richard Stoddert Ewell to hurry his march, but Ewell’s nearest men were still two hours distant at Shady Grove Church. Ewell’s first division arrived on Anderson’s right at around 5 pm, just in time to halt the long-delayed fourth attack of the Union army. Repelled once again, the attackers abandoned their fruitless efforts and returned to their works. The fighting subsided for the day.
Confederate Lieutenant-General Ambrose Powell Hill’s III Corps arrived during the night and morning to complete the concentration of Lee’s army. Major-General Jubal Anderson Early was transferred from II Corps to assume temporary command of III Corps because of a recurrence of Hill’s chronic illness. Early’s division passed to the pugnacious Brigadier-General John Brown Gordon.
Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant’s lightning march to Spotsylvania had been frustrated and had degenerated into a costly reconnaissance in force. Anderson’s unplanned early departure had secured the crossroads, and the recapture of Spotsylvania Court House prevented a serious tactical reverse for the Confederates. Union Major-General George Gordon Meade blamed Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan for delaying the infantry’s march, but Sheridan responded vehemently that the cavalry was not being employed in its proper role. Sheridan complained that Meade’s interference had dispersed his cavalry and exposed it to the danger of destruction in isolated groups. Sheridan appealed to Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant to allow the cavalry to operate more autonomously rather than as mere adjuncts to the infantry. Grant persuaded Meade that Sheridan might divert and defeat the Confederate cavalry more effectively by focusing its actions against it rather than acting as escorts and screens for the infantry. Sheridan was given a free rein to set off in the morning but not before warning his three division commanders that he expected nothing but complete success to compensate for his angry dispute with Meade.

Virginia. Parts of the Union XVIII Corps and X Corps left the defences at Bermuda Hundred to probe towards Petersburg. They met the Confederate division of Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson at Swift Creek and halted.

West Virginia. Skirmish with Union pickets at Halltown.

West Virginia. Skirmish at Jeffersonville.

West Virginia. Union Brigadier-General George Crook and his 6,000 infantrymen reached Shannon’s Bridge at sunset, after a hard march from Gauley Bridge. He was only seven miles from his objective of Dublin Station, where he planned to rendezvous with 2,000 cavalrymen under Brigadier-General William Woods Averell, who were riding from Logan Court House. Crook learned that a Confederate force was lying in wait for him two miles ahead on a wooded spur of Cloyd’s Mountain. The Confederates numbered 2,500 to 3,000 men, many of them militiamen and Home Guards, and were led by Brigadier-General Albert Gallatin Jenkins.

West Virginia. Union Brigadier-General William Woods Averell’s cavalry reached Tazewell, where he learned that he was faced by a Confederate force commanded by the irrepressible Brigadier-General John Hunt Morgan, including 750 diehard survivors of his notorious raid to Ohio of July 1863. Morgan had moved from Abingdon to defend the vital salt works at Saltville. Averell over-estimated Morgan’s force at 4,500 men, which was more than double his own strength. The town had been strongly fortified and it was clearly impossible to attack. Averell abandoned his plan to attack Saltville and turned his march towards the lead works at Wytheville instead, hoping to find that point undefended.
