The baggage train that marched off at eleven robbed Pleasant Hill of its men

In this episode, we walk the thirty-six hours around Pleasant Hill, showing how movements, orders and missing units shaped a battle that mattered for the Red River campaign. The episode follows the decisions, the march of a baggage train, and the critical timing that left a Union flank exposed - could those absent brigades have changed the outcome?

Person: Major General Nathaniel Banks
Person: Major General Richard Taylor
Person: Brigadier General Cameron
Date: April 8-10, 1864
Location: Pleasant Hill, Louisiana

- At 1:00 a.m. on April 10, 1864, Banks ordered his army to abandon Pleasant Hill after having held the field.
- On April 8 at Sabine Cross Roads the Union line collapsed, and eighteen artillery pieces were captured by Confederates.
- Major General Andrew J. Smith’s fresh detachments arrived at Pleasant Hill the night of April 8 and formed the Union anchor.
- At 11:00 a.m. on April 9 General Franklin’s baggage train departed heading south, taking much of the artillery, most cavalry, the Thirteenth Corps and Corps d’Afrique.
- Staff officers sent repeated recalls to Brigadier General Cameron as his column moved away, but he never returned and later claimed he received no written orders to come back.
