Re: General John W. "Blackjack" Davidson MS Raid

Yes December 1864. Finally gave up when a portion of his force was turned back by a Confederate force at McLeod's Mill near Leakesville, MS Dec. 10th . The main force had already started for Pascagoula and had ships waiting to transport them to New Orleans. They departed about the 14th-16th. The next raid that occurred was from Grierson coming at Egypt Station Dec. 27-28, 1864.
