In western Virginia, a Union reconnaissance in strength clashes with Confederates on the Green Brier River

In Pocahontas County, Virginia, around 5000 Union troops under General Joseph J. Reynolds undertook a reconnaissance in force against Confederate troops, under General Henry R. Jackson, encamped on the Green Brier River.  Fighting broke out in the morning and continued all day until Reynolds broke off the action and returned to his camp around Cheat Mountain, Virginia. Casualties were light on both sides; a total of around fifteen men were killed and 70 wounded. (By John Osborne)

In North Carolina, a Union counter-attack drives back a Confederate force in the "Chicomacomico Races"

The previous day, Georgia troops had made a dawn assault on the 20th Indiana at Chicomacomico, captured their camp and forty prisoners, and drove the rest miles back along the beach towards Cape Hatteras. A Union counter-attack the next day, supported by naval fire, drove the Confederates, in turn, back down the beach to their boats and they returned to Roanoke Island. The whole affair was dubbed "the Chicomacomico Races."  (By John Osborne)

On the North Carolina coast, a Confederate amphibious assault captures a Union camp at Chicomacomico

Three days before, Confederates had captured a supply ship for a new Union garrison at Chicomacomico, above Hatteras Inlet.  Georgia troops from Roanoke Island, aboard barges, made a dawn assault on this force, the 20th Indiana, captured their camp, stores, and forty prisoners, and drove the rest back along the beach towards Cape Hatteras. A Union counter-attack the next day, supported by naval fire, drove the Confederates back to their boats.  (By John Osborne)
