  • The Battle of Beaver Dam Creek, also known as the Battle of Mechanicsville or Ellerson's Mill, took place on June 26, 1862, in Hanover County, Virginia as the first major engagement of the Seven Days Battles of the American Civil War. Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee initiated his offensive against Maj. Gen. George B. McClellan's right flank north of the Chickahominy River. Maj. Gen. A.P. Hill threw his division, reinforced by one of Maj. Gen. D.H. Hill's brigades, into a series of futile assaults against Brig. Gen. Fitz John Porter's V Corps, which was drawn up behind Beaver Dam Creek. Confederate attacks were driven back with heavy casualties. Maj. Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson's Shenandoah Valley divisions, however, were approaching from the northwest, forcing Porter to withdraw the next morning to a position behind Boatswain Creek just beyond Gaines' Mill.
  • La Battaglia di Beaver Dam Creek, anche nota come Battaglia di Mechanicsville o Ellerson's Mill, ebbe luogo il 26 giugno 1862, nella Contea di Hanover, Virginia come primo scontro importante delle Battaglie dei Sette Giorni della guerra di secessione. Il generale dei Confederati Robert E. Lee iniziò la sua offensiva contro il fianco destro dell'armata del generale George B. McClellan a nord del fiume Chickahominy. Il generale A.P. Hill impegnò la sua divisione, con la collaborazione della brigata del generale D.H. Hill, in una serie di futili assalti contro il generale Fitz John Porter del V Corps (ACW), nella zona posteriore della Beaver Dam Creek procurando gravi problemi. Le divisione del generale Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson nella Valle di Shenandoah, si stavano avvicinando da nordovest, costringendo Porter ad arretrare, la mattina successiva, in una posizione dietro a Boatswain Creek, prossima a Gaines' Mill.
  • ビーバーダム・クリークの戦い(ビーバーダム・クリークのたたかい、英:Battle of Beaver Dam Creek、またはメカニクスビルの戦い、英:Battle of Mechanicsville、あるいはエラーソンズミルの戦い、英:Battle of Ellerson's Mill）は、南北戦争初期の1862年6月26日、バージニア州ハノーバー郡で行われた、七日間の戦いの最初の大きな戦闘である。南軍ロバート・E・リー将軍は、北軍ジョージ・マクレラン少将のチカホミニー川北岸にあった右側面に対してその攻勢を始めた。南軍A・P・ヒル少将がD・H・ヒル少将支配下の旅団の1つに支援されてその師団を投入し、ビーバーダム・クリークの背後に退いていたフィッツ・ジョン・ポーターの第5軍団に対して一連の実らない攻撃を掛けた。南軍の攻撃は大きな損失を出して撃退された。しかし、ストーンウォール・ジャクソン少将のシェナンドー渓谷師団が北西から接近しており、翌朝ポーターはゲインズミルの直ぐ向こう、ボースン・クリーク背後の陣地まで後退を強いられた。
