Military - Confederacy
Virginia
Turning southeast from the Santa Anna north of Richmond, Stuart's troopers move around the right flank of McClellan's army, through Hanover Curt House. At Haw's Shop there is a brief skirmish, and another at Old Church a few miles farther on.
Now was the time for the decision to go back or continue on around the Army of the Potomac. Stuart decided to go ahead. At Tunstall's Station a Union train escapes the raiders, but Stuart rode on into the night and by morning attempted to cross the Forge Bridge over the Chickahominy.
There is a skirmish at New Market in the Shenandoah.
South Carolina
There is a skirmish near Hilton Head.
