We continue on with the Red River Campaign as we take a look at the battle of Jenkins' Ferry which occurred April 30t, 1864 southwest of Little Rock, Arkansas. This being the last battle of the Camden Expedition (part of the Red River Campaign) the Union looks to continue their retreat into Little Rock as the Confederates are hot on their tail. We end the episode with the battle of Albemarle Sound on May 5th, in North Carolina in which eight Union gunboats try and stop three Confederate warships from advancing up the river in their attempt to retake New Bern which has been in Union hands since March of 1862.Head over to our YouTube channel where we post clips, shorts, full episodes, and exclusives!youtube.com/@bangdangnetwork
