Milliken's Bend | Brandy Station

Next up, we have another battle in the Vicksburg Campaign with the battle of Milliken's Bend that took place on June 7th, 1863 in Madison Parish, Louisiana. The Confederates mistakenly believed that Grant's supply line still ran through here. To close out the episode, we have the battle of Brandy Station on June 9th, at the beginning of the Gettysburg Campaign and was the largest predominately cavalry engagement of the war and the largest ever on American soil.
