Army-Navy Cooperation October 1862-- Part 1" Capture of Jacksonville, Florida

Civil War Naval Chronology

This past Saturday, the McHenry County Civil War Round Table discussion group met to talk about Army-Navy cooperation in the Civil war.

There was a lot of that as I have seen in my blog entries from those pages.

I went back and took a look at just the ones listed as joint cooperation for October 1862.

OCTOBER 3--  Joint expedition and engaged Confederate battery at St. John's Bluff, Florida, guarding Jacksonville.  This resulted in the capture of that city.

OCTOBER 7--  Sailors and troops in the Army transport Darlington captured the steamer Governor Milton on the St. john's River.
