In Response To: re: Haw's shop may 28, 1864 ()

The Battle of Haw's Shop (also called Hawe's Shop—the historic spelling[1]—or Enon Church) was fought on May 28, 1864, in Hanover County, Virginia, as part of Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia during the American Civil War. It was the second significant cavalry engagement of the 1864 campaign and one of the bloodiest of the war.

2nd Division, and 1st Brigade, 1st Division, Cavalry Corps,
Army of the Potomac.
During the campaign from the Rapidan to the James, Maj.-Gen. P.
H. Sheridan, commanding the cavalry corps, ordered a
reconnaissance in the direction of Mechanicsville and sent out
the 2nd division Under Brig.-Gen. David Mcm. Gregg for the
purpose.
Nearly a mile in advance of Hawes' Shop Gregg encountered the
enemy's cavalry dismounted and behind a breastwork. He
attacked this force, about 4,000 strong, but was repulsed
repeatedly and would have had to withdraw but for the arrival
of Brig.-Gen. George C. Custer's brigade of the 1st division,
four regiments of which were dismounted and charged in close
column of attack in conjunction with an attack of Gregg's
division.
The enemy was driven back, leaving his dead and wounded on the
field. The casualties of the 2nd division were 256 killed and
wounded. The losses of the other participants were not
reported.
