150 Years Ago-- January 12, 1864

JANUARY 12TH, 1864:

Union gunboats covered the landing of troops between the Potomac and Rappahannock rivers in Virginia. Confederates and horses were taken. The ships also covered the forces ashore the next two days and covered their re-embarkation.

Just another example of Union Army-Navy cooperation that hurt the Confederacy so much.
