HISTORY withJohnRankin Engagementat IndianCreek

December23,1864

ByJOHNP.RANKIN MadisonHistorian

MADISON-OnDecember23,1864, justabout160yearsago,oneoftwosigni cantengagementsoftheCivilWarin ornearoldMadisonoccurredatIndian Creekalongtoday’scampusofMadison Academy.Thecreekwasshownonsome mapsthenasHurricaneForkofIndian Creek,butsometimesshownasPrice’s Fork,orevenSixMileCreek,duetoits locationaboutsixmilesfromoldHuntsville.OneoftheConfederatesinvolved intheDecember1864con ictwasCaptainJamesBenningtonIrvine.Hewasin CompanyF,4thAlabamaCavalry,CSA, commandedbyGeneralP.D.Roddy,who wasnotpresentatthecreek.TheConfederateforcesatthecreekthatdaywere underthecommandofLt.Col.Francis MarionWindesandCol.JohnRobertson BedfordBurtwellofthe10thand11th AlabamaCavalry.Capt.Irvinewrotehis warmemoirswhileimprisonedbythe Unionafterbeingwoundedinthe ght. Onpages43-52ofhisbook,hedescribed theeventfromhisperspectiveingreat detail,ashisdiarywrittenintheUnion prisonlaterreveals.

IrvinewrotethatColonelJohnBurtwelland150menofthe4thAlabama CavalrywereencampedalongIndian CreekneartherailroadbridgeonDecember20.Theyhadbeenpositioned thereinanattempttokeeptheUnion forcesbottledupinHuntsvilleinorder tocoverGeneralJohnBellHood’sretreattogetbackacrosstheTennessee RiverintoTuscumbiafromFranklin, Tennesseeafterhisdecisivedefeatthere followinghisequallydisastrousdefeatat Nashville.ColonelBurtwellhadordered thatfencerailsbeburnedontherailroad bridgeonDecember22,realizingthat theUnionforcescouldreachtheConfederatepositionfromHuntsvillebyhorse andbyrailwithin15minutes.Therebels couldhearheavycannonadingatDecaturtotheirrearandnumerouswhistles inHuntsvilleattherailroaddepot.They knewthatalargeUnioncavalryforce hadre-occupiedHuntsvilleinthelast fewdaysandwasbeingreinforcedwith infantry.Col.Burtwellwasawaiting Confederatereinforcementsthatwere overdueforunknownreasons,andall scoutsthattheysentouttoeithereast orwesthadfailedtoreturn.Themen wereallexhaustedfromcontinuousduty guardingmanyroads,andspiritswere lowastheweatherwasextremelycold. DuringthenightofDecember23,accordingtotheof cialUnionrecords andIrvine’sdiaryreport,aNegroman lefttheConfederatecampandreported totheUnionforcesinHuntsvillethat therebelswereabouttoattack,which wasactuallynottrue.UnionColonel W.F.Prosserofthe12thIndianaCavalrythoughtthattherewasabrigade ofrebelforcesgatheredatthecreek,so hedecidedtoinitiateasurpriseattack. Heordered300menofhisowncavalry topreparetomoveoutfromHuntsville at3o’clockinthemorning.TheUnion forceunderCol.Prosserwasaugmented bypartsof10th,11th,and13thIndiana Cavalry,aswellasthe2ndand3rdTennessee(Union)Cavalry.Theyarrivedat IndianCreek“sixmileswestofHuntsville”atdawnonthe23rd.Ofcourse, theaccountsoftheengagementoften usedifferentnamesforthe owofwaterthatwenowknowasIndianCreek. ManyUnionaccountscalledourIndian CreekasHurricaneForkatthattime. TheynormallyusedthenameIndian Creektorefertothe owofwaterfrom thebottomofthebluffinHuntsville’s SpringBranchofIndianCreek.Other UnionaccountscallourIndianCreekas Six-MileCreek,duetothedistancefrom oldHuntsvilletownlimits.Evenolder accounts,priortothewar,calledtoday’s IndianCreekasPrice’sFork.Withallof thenameconfusion,itisawonderthat anyoneeverendedupgoingtotheintendedpointsofengagements. AsdescribedinmostUnionaccounts, themorningofthe“engagement”was excessivelycoldandpiercing,while theroadswerefrozenhard.Eventhe creekitselfwasfrozen,aswastheboggy groundaroundit.Movingatafasttrot, ColonelProsserturnedtoGeorgeHouse, theUnionbugler,andcommandedhim toblowthecharge.Simultaneously,he spurredhishorseforward.However,the bugledidnotsound,soCol.Prosseragain turnedaroundonhishorseandsworeat Georgefornotblowingthecharge,demandingtoknowwhynot.Househad thebugletohislips,andrepliedfromthe sideofhismouthasbesthecouldthathe wouldblowitassoonashislipsthawed outthemetal.Ithadfrozentohislips,

preventinghimfromblowing.

Thefordofthecreekwherethecharge occurredwasnarrow,allowingonly fourhorsesabreasttocross,according toUniondocuments.Onthewestside ofthecreek,therewasalevelplateau whichwashalfcircledbyaridgecontainingtherebelposition.FromCaptain Irvine’sConfederateaccount,heand ColonelBurtwellhadarisenbeforethe earlydawnattack.Theyrodedownthe hilltothestill-sleepingsoldiers’camp whileeverythingwasstillquiet.Further hestated,“Wethenrodetothebridge, whichwasaboutaquartermileoff,and wesawthatitwasthoroughlydestroyed bythe rethatourtroopshadsetthe daybefore.”Theyhadjustreturnedto thecamponthebluffsofthewestbank whentheyheard ringaboutamileor twoawayinthedirectionofHuntsville. Irvinesaidthathethen“rodetothe‘Y’ inthecreek,wherethepointoftheattacksoonoccurred.”(Theonlyplaceof suchasplitofthecreek’s ownearthe railroadbridgeissouthoftheOldMadisonPikebridgetoday.ThatPikeisthe oldroadfromHuntsvilletoMadisonStation,butthenitwasverynarrow,even forhorses,withdenseforestsoneach side.Fromthesedetailsandothersgiven inthevariousreports,itcanbededuced thatthecon ictbeganalongthecreekin thesouthernportionofMadisonAcademycampusalongSlaughterRoad.)The engagementwasacompleteroutofthe still-sleepingrebelcavalrymen,butvery fewwerekilled.However,manywere woundedandabout60werecaptured duringtheir ightbacktowardMadisonStationandfromtheretotheTriana crossingovertheriver.

CaptainIrvinewassooncaptured duringtheengagementatIndianCreek, aboutamileorsoeastofthetownof MadisonStation.Afterhiscapturehe wasinitiallyheldbytheUnionforcesfor ashorttimeinHuntsville,thensentto FortDelaware(onanislandintheDelawareRiverabout40milesbelowPhiladelphia)fortherestofthewar,which lastedonlyaboutfouror vemore months.Whileimprisonedhewasallowedtokeepadiary,writingofhiswar experiencesandincludingdetailsofthe eventofhiscapture.Anabbreviatedexcerptofhis rst-personaccountfollows. Atthebeginningofthedawncharge acrossthecreekbymorethan300Union cavalrymen,Irvinenoted“someconfusionintheranks”ofthe150bivouacked Confederatecavalrymen.“Igallopedtowardthemtoseewhatwasthematter, whentomyutterastonishmenttheywavered,broke,andawaytheywent,most afoot,withouttheirhorses,helter-skelteruptheroad(today’sOldMadison Pike).IsawtheBlueCoatsacrossthe creek,sabersinhand,slashingandcuttingatagreatrate.”Irvinewrotethat astheConfederatetroops ed,he“could donothingwiththem,atleastnothing butchecktheirspeed.Thiswasagreat disadvantagetothoseintherear,forbeingatthistimeonaveryroughandnarrow,heavilyforestedroad(OldMadison Pike),theycouldnotscatter.Bythosein frontridingataslowgallop,therearwas forcedtodothesame.Theirgunsbeing allunloaded(afterhaving redaninitial volley),theycouldnotloadagainwhile runningorriding.However,themountedYankeescouldstopandreload,then easilyovertakethemostlyafoot eeing Confederatecolumnand reintothe massattheirleisuretopickoffsuchmen ascouldnotkeepuporwhosehorsesfell --asagreatmanydid.”

Afterthewar,inadditiontotheof cial records,MajorWillA.McTeerwrotehis autobiographytodescribe“TheBattle atIndianCreekFord”asherecalledit fromtheUnionside.Regardingthecold weather,hewrote,“My ngerswereso coldIfoundtheywerenumb,soIcould notusethepistols,andhadtokeephold ofthereinsandplacemyhandsunder mythighstogetthemwarmed.CominguptothebankatthefordofIndian Creek,wefoundthattheenemyhadtakenpositioninaremarkablystrongplace.
