OCTOBER 13, 1864:
The Battle of Darbytown Road. Union troops of the Tenth Corps leave their entrenchments in the outer
circle of Richmond’s defenses and attack the inner defensive ring, hoping to
break into Richmond. The Confederate defenders, also of Corps strength, put up
a determined defense, and hold the line. Union casualties are about 450 and
Confederate casualties are about 500. The Union troops return to their
positions in the outer defensive ring. The South chalks up a victory in this
troubling Fall season.
