Action On James River

SEPTEMBER 29- OCTOBER 1:  Ships of the Confederate James River Squadron, Flag Officer Mitchell, supported Southern troops in attacks against Fort Harrison, Chaffin's Farm, James River, Virginia.  Though Confederates were unable to retake Fort Harrison, with the aid of heavy fire from Mitchell's ships, they did prevent Union soldiers from capturing Chaffin's Bluff.
