Grant’s Army Defeated at Holly Springs Raid
The Confederate raid led by Van Dorn surprised Union forces in Holly Springs Mississippi. Grant’s headquarters and supplies were seized or destroyed as 1600 cavalry and 2500 paroled infantry slipped away after burning millions in government stores. The town endured fires, looting, and a dramatic retreat as Union troops returned to Memphis.
