| Cause: Killed in Action. Part of the Petersburg Campaign, the Wilson-Kautz Raid (June 22–July 1, 1864) was a Union cavalry foray into the area southwest of Petersburg, Virginia, designed to destroy railroad track and facilities critical to supplying the Army of Northern Virginia encamped at Richmond.The Wilson-Kautz Raid covered some 350 miles and destroyed railroad tracks but at the cost of 1,445 casualties. The Confederates repaired their damaged railroads in short order, demonstrating to Grant that more than cavalry would be needed to isolate Petersburg. The combined command set out at about 3 a.m. on June 22 nd , heading out of the Union lines towards Ream's Station on the Weldon RR. Kautz's Second Brigade, under Col. Samuel P. Spear, had the advance. The station was reached at about 7:30 a.m., and the depot and associated buildings were burned, along with a train of about 13 platform cars, but it is unclear if any substantial track damage was done. One trooper in Kautz's brigade thought the entire place could be repaired in "ten minutes," and while he clearly was exaggerating, it appears that not much time was spent at Ream's. The most significant event at Ream's was that a force of enemy cavalry was encountered. While this was too small to block the expedition, it did mean that they would be dealing with an active pursuit almost from the start of the raid. Another consequence of the presence of the enemy at Ream's Station was that the raiders would not have with them any special tools for the destruction of the railroads. Federal engineers had devised a special tool to use in twisting heated rails; application of this device to an iron rail was supposed to render it useless unless re-rolled at a mill, of which the Confederacy had few. Wilson was supposed to be given a supply of these things, but the ship carrying them to the armies at Petersburg ran aground in the Pamunkey River so they did not arrive before the troopers set out. Meade sent a special expedition of cavalry to follow Wilson and deliver the belatedly arriving tools, but when these men got to Ream's Station they found the enemy between them and Wilson, and were unable to get through. The Yankees passed through Dinwiddie Court House around noon, halted for an hour's rest, then struck north for the Southside RR, which they reached at about 5:30 p.m., at a point about halfway between Ford's and Sutherland's stations. Chapman's brigade of Wilson's division had brought up the rear, and on several occasions had been forced to fend off pursuing Confederates. The command spent the rest of the day destroying track and facilities at Ford's Station and along the Southside Railroad. After only a couple hours sleep, they were back in the saddle at around 3 a.m. of the 23 rd , heading west along the railroad, destroying track and facilities as they could. |
