The Day Two Loaded Howitzers Surrendered Without Firing at Nineveh
In this episode, we set the scene on November 12, 1864: roads, orders, and the decisions that put a brigade on the Front Royal Pike with two howitzers ready to fire. We follow the movements, misreadings, and timings that turned a prepared position into a rout - and ask how misperception and timing changed everything.
Date: November 12, 1864
Location: Front Royal Pike near Nineveh, Shenandoah Valley, Virginia
Person: Brigadier General John McCausland
Person: Brigadier General William H. Powell
Event: Eight-mile Union cavalry approach that captured two howitzers
- McCausland posted dismounted skirmishers across the pike and into the fields, creating a screen that looked like a prepared defense.
- After initial contact, Colonel William Badger Tibbits’ First Brigade pressed, then pulled back, reinforcing McCausland’s belief the enemy had withdrawn.
- Sheridan’s intelligence had Powell’s Second Brigade already moving south: three regiments trotting eight miles down the pike with Spencer repeating rifles.
- McCausland’s assignment was to guard the Front Royal Pike as Early’s “insurance policy” for a safe eastern corridor back to New Market.
- The brigade held two twelve‑pound howitzers loaded and ready while Union cavalry under Powell closed the distance from the north.
