Battle of Lewis’ Farm, VA

Fall of Petersburg
Sherman’s Carolinas Campaign – North Carolina
Mobile Campaign – Siege of Spanish Fort
Appomattox Campaign
Wilson’s Raid to Selma
Stoneman’s Raid in Virginia and North Carolina

Alabama. Union Brigadier-General James Harrison Wilson and his cavalry raiders approached Montevallo. They destroyed two ironworks while a Confederate force felled trees ahead of them to block their progress. After completing their work of destruction in Montevallo, the Union cavalry encountered Confederates at a ford in the Cahaba River and drove them away. Union engineers built a crude trestle bridge using cross ties. Once the cavalry had crossed over the bridge, they destroyed a rolling mill and railroad supplies, and finally entered Montevallo before dark.

Alabama. USS Osage, Lieutenant-Commander William M Gamble, got underway inside the bar at the Blakely River near Mobile. The ship was trying to avoid colliding with USS Winnebago, which was drifting alongside in a strong breeze when a torpedo exploded under the monitor’s bow. The ship immediately began to sink. USS Osage lost four men killed and eight more wounded in the explosion. It was the third ship to be sunk in the Blakely River during March 1865 and the second in two days.

Alabama. Union Major-General Frederick Steele’s column reached Weatherford on its way towards Mobile.

Kentucky. Skirmish at the Blackwater River.

Louisiana. Reconnaissance to Amite River and Bonnet Carré ended.

Missouri. Reconnaissance from Waynesville to Rolla, via Jackson’s Mills, and Coppage’s Mill on Spring Creek, and then to the Big Piney River, began.

North Carolina. Skirmish near Moseley Hall.

North Carolina. Skirmish at Wilkesboro.

North Carolina. Union Brigadier-General George Stoneman and his Union raiders entered the town of Patterson by surprise and captured it. They burned a cotton mill and obtained food for their horses and troops before leaving town.

North Carolina. Following the strategic conference aboard the River Queen, Rear Admiral David Dixon Porter ordered the naval forces in the North Carolina Sounds to support new operations in the area. All available shallow-draft tugs, tow vessels, and canal boats were ordered to carry supplies to Major-General William Tecumseh Sherman’s armies through Kinston. Union gunboats were required to navigate the Chowan River to obtain forage and food around Winton. The obstructions at New Bern were to be cleared and provisions provided for the impending campaign. Gunboats were immediately sent to hold Winton. USS Shokokon and USS Commodore Hull left New Bern to join the operations on the Chowan.

Virginia. Reconnaissance from Winchester to Woodstock ended.

Virginia. Reconnaissance from Stephenson’s Depot through the Shenandoah Valley to Smithfield, West Virginia.

Virginia. Skirmish on the Vaughan Road near Hatcher’s Run.

Virginia. Skirmish at the junction of the Quaker Road and the Boydton Road.

Virginia. Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant requested naval support to protect his line of supply and communications on the James River. As the army began to adopt mobile operations and moved away from City Point and Bermuda Hundred, he asked for one or two gunboats to patrol continually the Appomattox River near the pontoon bridge, and two more to patrol in the James River, near the mouth of Bailey’s Creek below City Point. Several warships were moved to protect these vital points.

Lewis’ Farm, Virginia, also known as Gravelly Run, Quaker Road, Military Road, Gravelly Road or Boydton Plank Road. In the opening moves of his spring offensive, Union Lieutenant-General Ulysses Simpson Grant had a significant numerical advantage over the defenders of Richmond and Petersburg. The Army of the Potomac (Major-General George Gordon Meade), the Army of the James (Major-General Edward Otho Cresap Ord), and Major-General Philp Henry Sheridan’s Cavalry Command, amounted to about 76,000 men. Grant moved his headquarters from City Point twenty miles down the Vaughan Road, in order to be closer to the impending action. The defending Confederate Army of Northern Virginia had no more than 57,800 men under General Robert Edward Lee, including the forces of the Department of Richmond, and the Department of North Carolina and Southern Virginia.
As an opening move, Grant ordered Sheridan’s Cavalry Command to break through to the Southside Railroad and the Danville Railroad while the six divisions from II Corps (Major-General Andrew Atkinson Humphreys) and V Corps (Major-General Gouverneur Kemble Warren) advanced beyond Hatcher’s Run and past the western limit of the Confederate defences. The aim was to turn the right flank of the Confederates and to force the evacuation of Petersburg and Richmond. The places of II Corps and V Corps in the siege lines were to be occupied by three divisions of XXIV Corps (James) under Major-General John Gibbon, which came down from north of the James River. The cavalry division of the Army of the James was now under Sheridan’s overall control, leaving Major-General Godfrey Weitzel with only the three divisions of XXV Corps to hold the lines north of the James and to garrison the lines at Bermuda Hundred. The IX Corps (Major-General John Grubb Parke) and VI Corps (Major-General Horatio Gouverneur Wright) were to hold their lines outside Petersburg, awaiting an opportunity to strike if the Confederates began to abandon their defences.
A steady downpour of rain turned the roads to mud and slowed the advance, but Sheridan rode on ahead with 13,000 men in three cavalry divisions from Brigadier-General Wesley Merritt’s Cavalry Corps. They moved from their assembly area near Globe Tavern, across Rowanty Creek at Malone Bridge, and towards Dinwiddie Courthouse. They were followed by the V Corps, which crossed Rowanty Creek over Monk’s Neck Bridge, below the confluence of Gravelly Run and Hatcher’s Run. Their objective was also Dinwiddie Court House, about six miles further on. This would bring them within striking distance of the vital crossroads at Five Forks on the White Oak Road, six miles west of Burgess’ Mill. At about 5 am, Union Brigadier-General Charles Griffin’s division (1/V) under Warren’s direction drove enemy skirmishers from the crossings of Rowanty Creek. Griffin fought his way across and by noon he had reached the crossing of Quaker Road over Gravelly Run. He pushed onward towards the Boydton Plank Road intersection, where he encountered Confederate Major-General Bushrod Rust Johnson’s Confederate division. Union Brigadier-General Samuel Wylie Crawford’s division (3/V) arrived and took up position on Griffin’s left. Griffin’s and Crawford’s divisions advanced together against gradually stiffening resistance. They halted again at Arnold’s sawmill after an advance by Brigadier-General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s brigade (1/1/V) was driven back by Brigadier-General Henry Alexander Wise’s and Brigadier-General William Henry Wallace’s brigades from Lieutenant-General Richard Heron Anderson’s Confederate IV Corps. A Union battery arrived (Battery B 4^th US Light Artillery) and then parts of Colonel Edgar M Gregory’s (2/1/V) and Brigadier-General Joseph Jackson Bartlett’s (3/1/V) brigades reinforced Chamberlain. Chamberlain’s reinforced brigade was conspicuous in leading the counterattack. A sharp firefight forced the Confederates back to their entrenchments on the White Oak Road while the Union troops entrenched on the Boydton Plank Road.
In response to the threat, Confederate General Robert Edward Lee ordered Major-General George Edward Pickett to move his reinforced division of 6,400 men to secure Five Forks, four miles beyond the furthest entrenched positions at Hatcher’s Run. Cavalry divisions under Major-General Fitzhugh Lee and Major-General William Henry Fitzhugh Lee were also sent towards the crossroads at Five Forks along with the remnants of the cavalry brought from the Shenandoah Valley by Brigadier-General Thomas Lafayette Rosser. This concentrated the great majority of the available Confederate cavalry, about 5,400 men, around Five Forks. It was imperative to retain possession of Five Forks in order to protect the Southside Railroad just three miles away, and to keep alive any hope of marching to join the Confederate forces under General Joseph Eggleston Johnston in North Carolina. Total casualties in the action were estimated as 1,000; with at least 370 to 381 lost by the Union and over 200 Confederate prisoners among their 600 or more casualties.
