Coming up in this week's episode is three battles in three states. First up is the battle of Brice's Cross Roads fought June 10th, 1864 in Mississippi in which a federal expedition force commanded by Samuel D. Sturgis was defeated by a Confederate force commanded by Nathan Bedford Forrest. This was part of what was known as "Forrest's Defense Of Mississippi."
In our second battle we go to Kentucky for the small battle of Cynthiana on June 11th-12th where Union forces stopped a raid by Confederate Brigadier General John Morgan and his raiders.
Our last battle takes us back to Virginia and the Overland Campaign and the battle of Trevilian Station on June 11th-12th. Union cavalry under Maj. Gen Philip Sheridan faced out against Confederate cavalry under Maj. Gens. Wade Hampton and Fitzhugh Lee. This was the largest and bloodiest all-cavalry battle in the Civil War.
