The Battle of St. Charles was fought on June 17, 1862, at St. Charles, Arkansas, during the American Civil War. Earlier in 1862, a Union Army force commanded by Major General Samuel R. Curtis moved against Little Rock, Arkansas, but became bogged down in the Batesville area due to lack of supplies. The Union leadership decided to send a naval force from Memphis, Tennessee, up the White River to resupply Curtis's men. Major General Thomas C. Hindman, the Confederate commander in Arkansas, had fortifications constructed near St. Charles to stop the Union movement. Two artillery positions were built, and three ships, including CSS Maurepas, were scuttled to obstruct the river.

  • The Battle of St. Charles was fought on June 17, 1862, at St. Charles, Arkansas, during the American Civil War. Earlier in 1862, a Union Army force commanded by Major General Samuel R. Curtis moved against Little Rock, Arkansas, but became bogged down in the Batesville area due to lack of supplies. The Union leadership decided to send a naval force from Memphis, Tennessee, up the White River to resupply Curtis's men. Major General Thomas C. Hindman, the Confederate commander in Arkansas, had fortifications constructed near St. Charles to stop the Union movement. Two artillery positions were built, and three ships, including CSS Maurepas, were scuttled to obstruct the river. The Union ships advanced against the Confederate positions on June 17. The 46th Indiana Infantry Regiment was sent ashore to attack the fortifications on land, while two ironclads and two timberclads attacked the fort from the river. During the fighting, a Confederate solid shot struck the ironclad USS Mound City, puncturing one of the ship's steam drums. In what has been referred to as the deadliest shot of the war, scalding steam filled the ship, killing or wounding all but about 25 of the roughly 175 men on the vessel. The 46th Indiana overran the Confederate defenses on land and the position was taken. The supply mission was unable to make it all the way to Curtis's position, and withdrew back down the river due to low water levels. Thereafter, Curtis's army cut loose from their supply line and marched to Helena, Arkansas. A portion of the battlefield is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the St. Charles Battle Site. (en)
  • 圣查尔斯之战（英語：Battle of St. Charles）是1862年6月17日在美利堅聯盟國阿肯色州圣查尔斯爆发的南北战争战斗。联邦军少将塞缪尔·瑞恩·柯蒂斯1862年初挥师攻向阿肯色州小岩城，因缺乏补给在贝茨维尔地区停滞不前。军方高层决定从田纳西州孟菲斯出动海军，沿怀特河逆流而上，向柯蒂斯所部运送补给。阿肯色州联盟军司令少将在圣查尔斯附近修筑防御工事阻挡联邦军行动。两个炮兵阵地严阵以待，还凿沉等三艘舰船阻塞河道。 联邦军舰船6月17日挺进联盟军阵地。登岸进攻防御工事，铁甲舰与各两艘从水路攻击。战斗期间，联盟军以命中联邦军，击穿锅炉，滚烫的蒸汽立即外泄，舰上约175人仅25人安然无恙，其他非死即伤，堪称南北战争最致命的一炮。第46步兵团攻占联盟军阵地，但因河流水位太低无法将补给送到柯蒂斯所部位置，柯蒂斯最后率军切断补给线进军菲利普斯县。圣查尔斯之战部分战场入选國家史蹟名錄，得名“”。 (zh)
