Alabama. Skirmish near Scottsville.

Alabama. Skirmish at Summerfield.

Fort Blakely, Alabama. Union Major-General Frederick Steele concentrated his entire force of 10,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalrymen for the siege of Fort Blakely, near Mobile. From the left, Steele deployed the divisions of Brigadier-General Kenner Garrard (2^nd/XVI), Brigadier-General James Clifford Veatch (1^st/XIII), and then the brigade of Brigadier-General Christopher Columbus Andrews. The right was held by Brigadier-General John Parker Hawkins’ USCT Division of black soldiers (4^th/XVI). Confederate Brigadier-General St John Richardson Liddell, with about 4,000 men in Brigadier-General Francis Marion Cockrell’s division and Colonel W T Thomas’ brigade of “boy reserves”, held out for a week against the much larger Union force. A brief Confederate counter-attack at Sibley’s Mills was easily repelled by Hawkins’ men and the Confederates occupied their fortifications.

Selma, Alabama. Union Major-General James Harrison Wilson attacked the key military site at Selma with two of his three cavalry divisions. Selma was protected by three miles of fortifications, which ran in a semicircle around the city. They were anchored on the north and south by the Alabama River. The works had been built two years earlier and, although somewhat neglected, they were still formidable. The defences were from 8 to 12 feet in height, 15 feet thick at the base, and had a ditch 4 feet wide and 5 feet deep along the front. Before this was a picket fence of heavy posts planted in the ground, 5 feet high, and sharpened at the top. At prominent positions, earthen forts were built with artillery in position to cover the ground over which an assault would have to be made. Although Selma’s defences were strong, there were far too few Confederate troops to man them effectively. Selma had a garrison of about 5,000 men under Lieutenant-General Nathan Bedford Forrest who had arrived early in the morning from the rout at Ebenezer Church. He advised Lieutenant-General Richard Taylor, the Department commander, to leave the city. Taylor did so after giving Forrest command of the defence. Forrest’s defenders consisted of his own Tennessee escort company, McCullough’s Missouri Regiment, Colonel Edward Crossland’s brigade, Brigadier-General Phillip Dale Roddey’s brigade, Brigadier-General Frank Crawford Armstrong’s brigade, the Pointe Coupée Artillery, Brigadier-General Daniel Weisiger Adams’ state reserves, and a mob of armed citizens of Selma who had volunteered to man the defences. The total force numbered less than 4,000 men, barely half of whom were experienced soldiers.
Wilson’s force arrived at the Selma fortifications at 2 pm. He placed Brigadier-General Eli Long’s division across the Summerfield Road, with the Chicago Board of Trade Battery in support. Brigadier-General Emory Upton’s division was placed across the Range Line Road with Battery I, 4^th US Artillery, in support. Wilson had 9,000 well-armed and well-trained troops available to make the assault. Wilson’s plan was for Upton to send in a 300-man detachment after dark to cross the swamp on the Confederate right, enter the works, and begin a flanking movement toward the centre by moving along the line of fortifications. Then a single gun from Upton’s artillery would fire the signal for an attack by the entire Cavalry Corps.
At 5 pm, the ammunition train in Wilson’s rear was attacked by elements of Forrest’s scattered forces that were converging toward Selma. Long and Upton had both positioned significant numbers of troops in the rear to guard against such an event. Disregarding the threat, Long decided on his own initiative to launch an improvised assault against the Selma fortifications to neutralise the attack in his rear. Long’s men attacked on foot in a single rank in three main lines, firing their Spencer repeating carbines. They were supported by artillery. The Confederates replied with rifle and artillery fire. The attackers suffered many casualties, including Long himself, but the attack continued. After less than 30 minutes, Long’s men had captured the works protecting the Summerfield Road from the outnumbered defenders. Upton observed Long’s success and ordered his division forward. It soon captured the works from Range Line Road to Summerfield Road. Once the outer works had fallen, Wilson led the 4^th US Cavalry in a mounted charge down the Range Line Road toward the unfinished inner line of works. The retreating Confederate forces, having fallen back to their inner works, rallied, and poured stopped the charge. Wilson ordered a dismounted assault by several regiments. Mixed Confederate units at the Selma railroad depot and the adjoining banks of the railroad bed tried to make a stand next to the Plantersville Road but, by 7 pm, the Union troops had outflanked the Confederate positions, forcing the defenders to abandon the depot as well as the inner line of works. Union troops rounded up hundreds of prisoners, but hundreds of Confederate cavalrymen also managed to escape in the darkness down the Burnsville Road. These included Taylor, who had departed before the attack, and Forrest, Armstrong, and Roddey who escaped capture. To the west, many Confederate soldiers continued to fight the pursuing Union soldiers all the way to the eastern side of Valley Creek. They then escaped in the darkness by swimming the Alabama River near the mouth of Valley Creek.
Union casualties were reported as 319 and Confederate as at least 2,700 men, mostly prisoners. (CWSAC Major Battle Union Victory)

Arkansas. Skirmish two miles from Van Buren. Union troops killed two Confederates who had robbed local citizens. Papers found on their bodies indicated that they were en route from Fulton, Texas, to Missouri.

Arkansas. Skirmish four miles from Hickory Station, on the Little Rock & Devall’s Railroad. Confederate raiders derailed part of a train but were driven off by the Union troops aboard. While the attack was progressing, most of the passengers fled into the prairie, only returning when the coast was clear.

Georgia. Incident at Coosawattee River.

Louisiana. Union expeditions began expeditions from Thibodeaux, Bayou Boeuf, and Brashear City to Lake Verret, Grand Bayou, and The Park.

Louisiana. Expedition across the Amite River to the Hermitage and the French Settlement began.

Louisiana. Expedition from Baton Rouge to the Comite River ended.

Missouri. Reconnaissance from Waynesville ended.

North Carolina. Skirmish near Goldsboro.

North Carolina. Union Commander William Henry Macomb with USS Shamrock, USS Wyoming, USS Hunchback, USS Valley City, and USS Whitehead began dragging for torpedoes as they proceeded up the Roanoke River. Macomb sent for the USS Commodore Hull and USS Shokokon to join the expedition from New Bern. On the way upriver the expedition was joined by three canal boats loaded with troops sent from Norfolk, Virginia.

Virginia. Skirmish at Gravelly Ford on Hatcher’s Run.

Virginia. Skirmish at Scott’s Cross Roads.

Virginia. Confederate General Robert Edward Lee abandoned Richmond and Petersburg and followed his only available course of action to save his Army. He aimed to move as quickly as possible to unite with General Joseph Eggleston Johnston’s army in North Carolina. Lee considered but dismissed the option of heading west to the Appalachian Mountains where his army might regroup to conduct guerrilla warfare. Lee’s first imperative was to reunite the four separate columns of his army at Amelia Court House thirty-nine miles southwest of Richmond, where he expected to find a supply train of rations that he had ordered to await the army at that point. The army had left its positions at Petersburg and Richmond with only one day’s marching rations. Most of Lee’s army marched west on routes north of the Appomattox River but the remnants of the divisions of Major-General George Edward Pickett and Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson, with the cavalry divisions of Major-General Fitzhugh Lee and Major-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee following as a rear-guard, moved on the Namozine Road, south of the river.
While most of Lee’s army had a head start of one day in their flight from Richmond and Petersburg, the Union cavalry and infantry under the command of Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan were able to shepherd Lee’s forces to their north by pursuing them on a parallel course to their south. Union cavalry harassed and skirmished with Confederate units almost from the outset of Lee’s army’s march from Petersburg. Confederate dismounted cavalry units continually paused to block the roads from pursuing Union cavalry with rear-guard actions. During the evening, Confederate cavalry under Fitzhugh Lee detected units of the Union cavalry division of Brigadier-General Thomas Casimer Devin in pursuit and had Johnson’s infantry division throw up a series of breastworks along the Namozine Road in order to hold back the Union riders with greater strength.

Third Petersburg, Virginia, also known as Petersburg or the Petersburg Final Assault, Petersburg Assault, the Petersburg Breakthrough, or Fort Gregg and Fort Whitworth. Expecting the Confederates to weaken their defences at Petersburg as they sent forces westwards to protect the Southside Railroad, Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant ordered a general assault for dawn. The assault was conducted by three Corps (IX Corps, VI Corps, and XXIV Corps) with about 60,000 men pitted against a quarter of that number of Confederates. Union Major-General John Grubb Parke’s IX Corps occupied the old trenches originally captured by the Union army in June 1864. Facing Parke was a strong Confederate position dominated by Fort Mahone and manned by the Confederate II Corps of Major-General John Brown Gordon. Parke chose to assault Fort Mahone directly, trusting that the depleted enemy numbers would allow him to make progress. The attack carried the fortress and the trenches around the Jerusalem Plank Road, but they slowed down once the Union forces encountered the Confederate reserve artillery which had been stationed the day before to Gordon’s rear. Gordon rallied his troops and planned a counterattack to drive Parke out of his lost trenches. Parke sent word for Major-General George Gordon Meade to send reinforcements to help him hold his current position. Late in the afternoon, Gordon launched a counterattack. The Union forces held their position desperately until reinforcements began to arrive. Despite having gained a foothold along the Jerusalem Plank Road, IX Corps did not penetrate through the Confederate defences in this sector.
Further to the west, Union Major-General Horatio Gouverneur Wright’s VI Corps massed for an assault against the six-mile long line held by Lieutenant-General Ambrose Powell Hill’s Confederate III Corps along the Boydton Plank Road to Burgess’ Mill. Wright massed his entire corps in a wedge with Brigadier-General George Washington Getty’s division at the point and Brigadier-General Truman Seymour’s division and Brigadier-General Frank Wheaton’s division behind. The assault against the Boydton Road line was carefully planned and, at 4.40 am, the brigade of Brigadier-General Lewis Addison Grant spearheaded the assault at Fort Fisher. Three Union divisions surged towards a weak spot in the line held by just two Confederate brigades from the division of Major-General Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox. Twenty minutes later the Confederate lines were broken, and a decisive breakthrough had been achieved against Wilcox’s division and the defenders were scattered. Wright turned most of his corps to the southwest along the Boydton Plank Road to uncover the rear of the Confederate line along Hatcher’s Run, where the Union XXIV Corps was already attacking. Some stragglers from the initial breakthrough continued heading straight forward along Cox Road while most of the VI Corps turned to the left.
Before dawn, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee was visited at army headquarters in the Turnbull House on Cox Road by A P Hill, who came to ask when the reinforcing division of 4,600 men under Major-General Charles William Field could be expected to arrive from Richmond to strengthen his defences. Lieutenant-General James Longstreet arrived soon afterwards from Richmond, raising their hopes until he revealed that he had ridden on far ahead of the desperately needed infantry. They were then interrupted by a staff officer bringing the first news of the breakthrough on Hill’s front at Hatcher’s Run. Fugitives soon began to appear from the south on the Cox Road. Union skirmishers were already in sight in the distance, cautiously approaching the Turnbull House. Lee sent Longstreet to bring forward Field’s division as quickly as possible while Hill immediately rode away with his courier Sergeant G W Tucker to rally his troops on the Boydton line. Fortunately, the Union skirmishers had halted, deterred by the activity around the headquarters, and Lee had time to dress and to ride westwards to investigate the situation. It was not long before Lee returned to the Turnbull House, now more securely held by troops, and then Hill’s staff officers brought the news that Hill was dead. Two stragglers from a Pennsylvania regiment had ambushed Hill and Tucker about a mile behind the former front line. Hill demanded their surrender, but the Union soldiers took aim first and killed him. Tucker escaped and reported the circumstances of Hill’s death.
Union Major-General John Gibbon’s XXIV Corps (except for Brigadier-General Charles Devens’ 3^rd Division) exploited the breakthrough by VI Corps on their right. Crossing the Boydton Plank Road, Gibbon turned north and moved towards the city of Petersburg. Longstreet was bringing forward his troops down from the Richmond defences as quickly as possible. To buy time for these troops to take up a position, Lee needed a desperate defence somewhere to break up the Union advance once it resumed. Two small earthworks, less than a quarter of a mile apart and mutually supporting on the Boydton Plank Road half a mile in front of the main line, provided the opportunity. They were called Fort Gregg on the road and Fort Whitworth three hundred yards north of it. They were incomplete but Confederate Brigadier-General Nathaniel Harris moved two regiments and two guns into Battery (Fort) Gregg and two more regiments and three guns into Battery (Fort) Whitworth to provide the forlorn hope that was required. The defenders numbered maybe 400 men, supplemented by some survivors from Wilcox’s division. Led by the division of Brigadier-General Robert Sanford Foster, the Union forces moved first on Fort Gregg, but it proved difficult to take by storm. Artillery fire from Fort Whitworth plagued the Union forces but eventually, two Union divisions were committed, one against each fort. Fort Gregg was overrun first by a swarm of 8,000 attackers and Fort Whitworth followed after a long and ferocious hand-to-hand battle. Gibbon’s troops were exhausted from attacking the two forts, having lost 122 men killed and 592 wounded in their attack. The Confederate garrisons of the forts suffered 55 dead and 129 wounded and only 30 uninjured men surrendered. A further sixty men were captured when the remnant fled from the forts to regain the Confederate line. By 3 pm Harris’ men had gained two hours of delay at Fort Gregg and Fort Whitworth, just long enough for Field’s division to deploy in the inner defences. Field’s bold front deterred XXIV Corps from advancing further towards Petersburg and the two sides remained apart at long range.
On Gibbon’s left flank, Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys’ II Corps was expected to extend the fight beyond Burgess’ Mill. Humphreys faced the Confederate division of Major-General Henry Heth, holding the defences running from Hatcher’s Run to White Oak Road. Heth’s men constituted the extreme right flank of Lee’s defences but Humphreys was cautious in his advance. Major-General Nelson Appleton Miles’ Division of II Corps had already been detached to reinforce Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan near Five Forks. Not needing their support, Sheridan sent Miles back, but Miles’ division was unavailable in the interim and the advance was withheld. Once firm news was received that the VI Corps had broken through the Boydton Road line, Humphreys ordered an attack along his front. By this time Heth had already begun to fall back to a secondary line. Humphreys only had one division available to attack and it pushed forward but made contact only with Confederate pickets and rear guards. Once Miles’ division had returned from its wasted journey, they found the Confederate trenches abandoned and they moved ahead to capture the Crow Salient. Humphreys wanted to move on more vigorously against Heth, but Meade ordered all the Union infantry to turn instead towards Petersburg. Humphreys turned to the north but left Miles behind to strike at Heth’s retreat towards Sutherland’s Station.
The Confederate defences were falling apart as far westwards as Hatcher’s Run. Lee transmitted the orders to President Jefferson Finis Davis and Secretary of War John Cabell Breckinridge to implement the contingency plans for the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond. Lee sent for all the regular troops north of the James River to depart and he also alerted Lieutenant-General Richard Stoddert Ewell to retreat from the capital with his militia and reserves. Still awaiting the arrival of Field’s division, Lee abandoned the Turnbull House, which was now under artillery fire, and rode back to the inner line of defences assigned for Field to occupy. These were at the western end of the original Dimmock Line, hitherto unoccupied but now required as a rear-guard position since the main outer line had finally stretched beyond breaking point. The surrounding Confederate artillery also began to disengage after coming under destructive fire and pulled back to the Dimmock Line.
Relying on the reinforcements from Longstreet’s I Corps and Gordon’s II Corps to form a rearguard, Lee hoped to hold out long enough for the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond to be safely completed. The Confederate army began its retreat in the dark at 8 pm and all units marched in the general direction of Amelia Court House. The last outposts withdrew at 3 am in the morning. The reserve artillery moved through Petersburg and across the Appomattox River first, followed by batteries from all along the line. Longstreet then led Field’s division and the remnants of III Corps. Gordon’s II Corps came up in the rear. Silence was not required as the Union artillery maintained a cannonade all night long, in preparation for a resumption of the assault in the morning. About 15,000 men took the southern escape route from Petersburg and a similar number from I Corps and the Richmond defences were abandoning Richmond further north. Confederate Major-General William Mahone evacuated the Bermuda Hundred lines and joined the Richmond column. Lieutenant-General Richard Heron Anderson was already further west, leading the fragments of Major-General George Edward Pickett’s division, Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson’s division, and the remainder of the cavalry that had been engaged at Five Forks. Engineers blew up the bridges over the Appomattox in Petersburg after the last man had crossed to the north side. Lee waited until both columns were on the roads and then departed for Amelia Court House about an hour before midnight.
Casualties in the final assault at Petersburg were estimated as between 3,261 men and 4,140 men out of 63,299 Union troops engaged. Confederate losses were not reported. This brought to an end the ten-month “siege” of Petersburg which had cost some 42,000 Union and 28,000 Confederate casualties. (CWSAC Decisive Battle Union Victory)

Virginia. Union Lieutenant=General Ulysses Simpson Grant sent word to President Abraham Lincoln at City Point that the fall of Petersburg was imminent and invited him to visit the scene of the impending victory. Grant plotted how the next phase of the campaign should unfurl. He did not wish to snap at the heels of the retreating Confederate army, harassing the tail of the column in a slow attrition of rearguard actions and ambushes, but rather he intended to surround and capture the whole army in a single mass. It was obvious that the Confederates would have to aim for a point somewhere along the Richmond & Danville Railroad, and then head south towards North Carolina, probably through the vital railroad intersection at Burkeville. The Confederate route from Richmond and Petersburg to Burkeville was nearly sixty miles, with difficult crossings of the Appomattox at each end. The Union route led more directly west along the Southside Railroad from Sutherland Station and was only forty miles long. Grant gave orders for the pursuit to begin in the morning, led by Major-General Philip Henry Sheridan’s cavalry. Major-General Charles Griffin’s V Corps would attempt to keep pace with the troopers and to provide early support in any engagement, by marching cross-country in their wake. Peeling away one at a time from their positions around Petersburg, Griffin would be followed by Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys’ II Corps, then Major-General Horatio Gouverneur Wright’s VI Corps. Major-General John Gibbon’s XXIV Corps and Major-General John Grubb Parke’s IX Corps would move forward to the Southside Railroad and follow it. Parke’s men would also repair the railroad as they went, to ensure a secure supply line as the army probed inland. Major-General Godfrey Weitzel’s XXV Corps of was ordered to occupy Richmond, and then march to rejoin the XXIV Corps, in order to bring back together the parts of the Army of the James.

Sutherland’s Station, Virginia, also known as Sutherland Station, Sutherland’s Depot or Southside Railroad. During the afternoon, Union Brigadier-General Nelson Appleton Miles’ division (1/II) was sent to reinforce Major-General Phil Henry Sheridan near Five Forks. Not being required there, they counter-marched and on their return, they found the enemy trenches abandoned by Major-General Henry Heth. Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys, commanding II Corps, wanted to immediately move against Heth, but Major-General George Gordon Meade had ordered all the Union infantry to turn and face Petersburg. When the main body of II Corps marched north towards Petersburg, Humphreys detached Miles to remain behind and exploit Heth’s withdrawal. Miles struck north from White Oak Road through light resistance and seized the Crow salient in the Confederate line. Miles pursued the retiring Confederates up the Claiborne Road. They met elements of four Confederate brigades (Brigadier-General Philip Cook, Brigadier-General Alfred Moore Scales, Brigadier-General William MacRae, and Brigadier-General Samuel McGowan) from the divisions of Heth and Major-General Cadmus Marcellus Wilcox. They were attempting to defend the Southside Railroad at Sutherland’s Station, nineteen miles from Petersburg. The Confederates placed their left flank at the Ocran Methodist Church. Heth now learned that Lieutenant-General Ambrose Powell Hill had been killed earlier in the day and that he was now the senior divisional commander of III Corps and should succeed to corps command. Dodging Union patrols, Heth hastened to Petersburg, leaving Cooke to command the fight. In Petersburg, Heth found that General Robert Edward Lee had already decided to disband III Corps and to distribute its units to Lieutenant-General James Longstreet.
At 3 pm, Miles launched his first attack but it was repulsed with heavy losses. After a second futile attempt to take the Confederate position by two brigades, Miles sent for reinforcements. Humphreys backtracked to Sutherland Station to reinforce Miles. However, before they arrived, Miles launched a third assault with his three brigades together. McGowan’s brigade collapsed on the Confederate left and the line broke. The Union assault overran the Confederate defence. A rearguard stand made by a Confederate brigade under Brigadier-General John Rogers Cooke held up the Union forces as the remainder of Heth’s troops headed west along the Claiborne Road. The Confederate defenders were scattered and driven north-westwards. Miles’ victorious men pushed ahead and captured hundreds of prisoners and two artillery pieces. With this victory, the Union forces finally took possession of the Southside Railroad, the last Confederate supply line into Petersburg. The Union reported 370 casualties while the Confederates lost approximately 600 men killed or wounded and 1,000 prisoners of war. (CWSAC Formative Battle Union Victory)

Evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond, Virginia. After the defeat at Five Forks, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee informed President Jefferson Finis Davis that Petersburg and Richmond must be evacuated that night. The complete encirclement of Petersburg was an imminent possibility and the fall of Richmond was the inevitable consequence. The Treasury Department loaded all available Confederate funds (about $528,000 in gold and silver) aboard a special train. Fifty of the sixty Midshipmen at the Confederate Naval Academy, under the command of Lieutenant William H Parker, escorted the archives of the government and the specie and bullion of the treasury from Richmond to Danville. The Midshipmen Corps was entrusted with this select guard duty during the subsequent moves of the archives and treasury (Charlotte, North Carolina; Washington, Georgia; Augusta, Georgia; and finally, Abbeville, South Carolina). This special train was delayed, and it was not until 11 pm that Davis and other members of the government left the city aboard a different train heading for Danville. As the Confederate authorities and troops abandoned Richmond, escaped convicts, starving civilians, looters, deserters, stragglers, and others looked for spoils in the business district and began to pillage the government warehouses and supply depots. Demolition squads blew up the tobacco and munitions warehouses, adding to the growing hysteria. A large portion of the city was set accidentally on fire as panic began to overtake the population of the city. Flour mills, including the immense Haxall and Gallego Mills on the riverside, went up in flames. At 2 am a magazine of 750,000 projectiles exploded repeatedly with devastating effect. Practically everything was consumed by fire between 8^th Street and 18^th Street, and for a mile from Canal Street to Cary Street. The Fire Department was completely overwhelmed and the only hope of quenching the fires lay with the invaders poised outside the city.

Virginia. Before his departure from Richmond, Confederate Secretary of the Navy Stephen Russell Mallory ordered the destruction of the Confederate James River Squadron and directed the officers and men of the Navy to join the troops evacuating Richmond. Mallory’s orders were carried out by Rear Admiral Raphael Semmes, who burned and scuttled the ironclads CSS Virginia II, CSS Fredericksburg, and CSS Richmond near Drewry’s Bluff. CSS Virginia II was totally destroyed by the explosion of its magazine at 3.15 am the next morning.
