Union Troops Attack Fayetteville, NC - February 11, 1865

Lt. Gen. Hardee was unable to hold Fayetteville safely and evacuated on the night of March 10th, covered by the cavalry led by Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton (CSA, SC). The next day, the Union army seized and occupied Fayetteville, while the Confederates lingered on the other side of the Cape Fear River. Maj. Gen. Sherman soon headed further east toward Goldsborough after a weak feint towards Raleigh. Other Union forces were at Kinston, and more coming from the south with the plan to converge at Goldsborough, which Gen. Joseph E. Johnston (CSA) wanted to prevent.

Lt. Gen. Hardee's command was estimated to include 10,000 men when it passed through Cheraw, SC, but this included about 1,000 South Carolina militiamen and reserves, who would not cross the SC State line. In truth, Lt. Gen. Hardee's command "was small and in poor material condition." Part of Lt. Gen. Hardee's command included a hastily-formed division led by Maj. Gen. LaFayette McLaws, formerly leading the unsuccessful defense of Savannah, GA. This new division included troops from Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina— Hardy's Brigade was led by Col. Washington M. Hardy (formerly of the 60th NC Regiment), and included the 50th NC Regiment, the 10th NC Battalion-Heavy Artillery, and the 7th NC Regiment-Senior Reserves. Very little documentation remains as to the actions performed by McLaws's Division or Hardy's Brigade after entering North Carolina on March 3, 1865—both are known to have been involved at the Battle of Averasborough and at the Battle of Bentonville, so it is very likely that they were even partially involved at the "Skirmish at Fayetteville" on March 11th.

+ His large army's Right Wing crossed the Pedee at Cheraw, SC, and his Left Wing and cavalry crossed at Sneedsborough, NC. He ordered Bvt. Maj. Gen. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry to keep well on the left flank, and his XIV Corps under Bvt. Maj. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis was ordered to move by Love's Bridge and given the right to enter and occupy Fayetteville, NC first.
+ He reported that the weather continued unfavorable and the roads were bad, but his XIV Corps and XVII Corps reached Fayetteville on March 11th, skirmishing with Confederate Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton's cavalry, which was covering the rear of Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee's retreating army. Most other Union only mention skirmishing with the rear guard of Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee's infantry. He also noted that the Confederate infantry had crossed the Cape Fear River and burned the bridge.

+ On March 6th, the XV Corps, the XVII Corps, and the XX Corps crossed the Pedee River via pontoon bridge at Cheraw, SC. The XIV Corps and the Cavalry on another pontoon bridge at Sneadsborough, NC. The entire army aimed at Fayetteville, NC, with the cavalry passing through Rockingham and then via the first road north of the Fayetteville & Albemarle Plank Road; the XIV Corps via Love's Bridge over the Lumber River; the XX Corps via McFarland's Bridge; the XV Corps via Gilchrist's Bridge; and the XVII Corps via Campbell's Bridge. All these bridges had been destroyed by the Confederate army and each was replaced by either a pontoon or trestle bridge.
+ The Union army collected at Fayetteville on March 11th, with very little opposition, except the Confederate cavalry was all around them.

+ On March 11th, he ordered all available mounted scouts under Capt. William Duncan (15th IL Cavalry) toward Fayetteville. He encountered the enemy's pickets just outside of the town, which he drove before him easily, but on entering the town, he met a large force of the enemy's cavalry. The Union scouts were driven back and Capt. Duncan was captured, but he later escaped, and reported that he was stripped of everything valuable in the presence of Confederate officers Lt. Gen. Wade Hampton and Maj. Gen. Matthew C. Butler.
+ Bvt. Maj. Gen. Giles A. Smith (U.S. Army, XVII Corps, 4th Division) reached Little Rockfish Creek and sent forward his escort and a company of mounted foragers. They moved up to assist the earlier scouts and gained possession of Arsenal Hill and attempted to save the bridge over the Cape Fear River.
+ In the meantime, the 1st Brigade under Brig. Gen. Benjamin F. Potts entered the town of Fayetteville as the Confederate Cavalry withdrew for the most part across the bridge. The enemy, however, placed a section of field artillery and opened fire upon the Union skirmish line. Some shells passed through private houses in the town.
+ The XIV Corps under Bvt. Maj. Gen. Jefferson C. Davis entered the town from the northwest nearly simultaneously.
+ The Mayor of Fayetteville made a formal surrender of the city to Lt. Col. W.E. Strong of Maj. Gen. Howard's staff.
+ The bridge could not be saved, and his men found several of his soldiers lying dead in the streets. As soon as he saw Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum (U.S. Army, Army of Georgia) he withdrew his command and encamped outside of the town. The enemy made a very slight resistance to his crossing the Cape Fear River.
+ He reported Maj. Gen. Francis P. Blair, Jr.'s XVII Corps was near the town; Maj. Gen. John A. Logan's XV Corps was about five (5) miles to the rear.

+ On March 10th, his command moved rapidly on the Plank Road to Big Rockfish Creek, where he had to rebuild a bridge to cross. Under orders, he destroyed the machinery and burned the Rockfish Factory, one of the largest in North Carolina with 318 looms. His pioneers worked all night to build a wagon bridge across Rockfish Creek, and completed it the next morning by 10:00 a.m.
+ His command crossed Rockfish Creek, about three (3) miles above the town of Fayetteville, and Little Rockfish Creek, where his men had to rebuild the bridge again. His 4th Division under Bvt. Maj. Gen. Giles A. Smith had a sharp skirmish with Confederate cavalry and drove them through Fayetteville and across the Cape Fear River, the bridge destroyed after the rebels crossed.
+ Per orders, his 4th Division was withdrawn to allow the XIV Corps to occupy the town.

+ On March 11th, after building the bridge and crossing Little Rockfish Creek, Lt. Col. J.J. Hibbets (32nd OH Infantry) with 200 mounted men, being detachments from nearly all regiments in his division, was ordered to Fayetteville, about seven (7) miles distant.
+ After skirmishing and driving the enemy three (3) miles, with assistance from Maj. Gen. Oliver O. Howard's scouts, cleared the town of Confederate Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler's cavalry, driving them across the Cape Fear River. They got within 200 yards of the bridge when it was fired by the rebels; it was so well prepared for burning by covering it with resin that it was impossible to save.
+ In the meantime, Bvt. Maj. Gen. Smith reached the city building where the authorities had just surrendered the town to Lt. Col. W.E. Strong of Maj. Gen. Howard's staff.
+ Maj. Gen. Howard then ordered him to send a regiment in saving the bridge, but they arrived too late.
+ Maj. Gen. Henry W. Slocum (U.S. Army, Army of Georgia) and his troops entered Fayetteville from the west and Bvt. Maj. Gen. Smith was then ordered to move outside of the town and encamp.

+ On March 10th, his corps moved to the 9-Mile Post and one brigade of Bvt. Maj. Gen. Absalom Baird's 3rd Division was thrown well in advance on the road to Fayetteville.
+ At 10:30 a.m. on March 11th, Bvt. Maj. Gen. Baird's 3rd Division, after some slight skirmishing with the enemy, entered Fayetteville, the other two (2) divisions and the entire XX Corps encamping near town.
+ Bvt. Maj. Gen. Baird was directed to take command of the town and to garrison it with his command. He was ordered to destroy all public and private property useful to the enemy, but to protect all other private property. Under these orders her destroyed two (2) foundries, four (4) factories, and considerable railroad property.

+ On March 10th, his corps moved to 9-Mile Post on the Fayetteville Plank Road. One brigade of Bvt. Maj. Gen. Absalom Baird's division was pushed forward as far as the 6-Mile Post and found the enemy's infantry, a part of Lt. Gen. William J. Hardee's (CSA, GA) command, in force in his front.
+ On March 11th, his command resumed marching in the morning, and after some skirmishing with the enemy's cavalry, Bvt. Maj. Gen. Baird's division entered Fayetteville around 10:30 a.m., finding the town held only by the enemy's rear guard. Bvt. Maj. Gen. Baird's division was ordered to occupy the town, while the remainder of the corps went into went into camp about two (2) miles west of the town on the plank road.

+ At 6:30 a.m. on March 10th moved eight (8) miles, then encamped around 1:00 p.m.; lost two (2) men taken prisoners, and one (1) man wounded near Fayetteville.
+ At 9:00 p.m. on March 11th moved as train guard, marched eleven (11) miles and encamped near Fayetteville.

+ At 7:00 a.m. on March 10th, his division marched twelve (12) miles and encamped at 13-Mile Post on the Fayetteville Plank Road. A brigade of Bvt. Maj. Gen. Hugh Judson Kilpatrick's cavalry was surprised by the enemy that morning on his left, and he was ordered to send a brigade from his command to their assistance.
+ His 2nd Brigade under Brig. Gen. John G. Mitchell was ordered to his left to assist the cavalry. In the meantime, Maj. Holmes, in command of foragers of his 3rd Brigade drove in the rebel pickets to the 5-Mile Post.
+ At 9:00 a.m. on March 11th marched twelve (12) miles and went into camp at Fayetteville.

+ On March 10th, his division made "but three miles, encamping at Rockfish Creek—one brigade, Col. Hunter's, having been sent forward two miles to Bone Creek to repair the bridge."
+ At 6:00 a.m. on March 11th, began marching. Struck rebel pickets at Beaver Creek, six miles from Fayetteville, drove them from their barricades. Pushed on and entered the town at 9:00 a.m., captured the old U.S. Arsenal, containing a number of cannons, small arms, and valuable machinery.
+ Ordered to take command of the town and garrison it with his command.

+ At 6:00 a.m. on March 10th his regiment marched five (5) miles, then repaired a bridge; marched two (2) miles, then repaired another bridge; then encamped for the night.
+ At 6:00 a.m. on March 11th, marched toward Fayetteville, skirmished with the enemy, then entered the town, and took a position to garrison the town.

+ On March 10th, his regiment marched five (5) miles, with the enemy reported in his front.
+ On March 11th, his regiment marched, skirmishing on the road, with the 92nd OH Infantry, who were the first Union troops in Fayetteville.

+ In the evening of March 10th, his Maj. Steele with 20 mounted men foraging horses and mules, within four (4) miles of Fayetteville, made a dash on Confederate pickets without loss, captured 1 lieutenant and 10 men, and brought them back to camp.
+ At Noon on March 11th, his brigade took possession of Fayetteville, with his regiment and the 75th IN Infantry being in the advance. These two (2) regiments drove the enemy rear guard before them across the Cape Fear River.

+ In the morning of March 11th, the 38th OH Infantry was the advance of the 3rd Brigade and was ordered to a reconnoiter a crossing, in which direction some desultory firing was heard. The bridge at this crossing was burned, there was a small band of Confederate cavalry on the opposite bank, and Company F was deployed as skirmishers. After some inconsiderable firing upon both sides, the rebels retreated with no casualties on either side.
+ The road was now clear, and the regiment followed the baggage train into Fayetteville, arriving there about 4:00 p.m.
