Description

La bataille de Wilson's Wharf, également appelée bataille de fort Pocahontas, est une bataille de la guerre de Sécession qui s'inscrit dans la campagne de l'Overland du lieutenant général de l'Union Ulysses S. Grant contre l'armée de Virginie du Nord du général confédéré Robert E. Lee.

Le 24 mai, la division de cavalerie du major général confédéré Fitzhugh Lee attaquent le dépôt d’approvisionnement de l'Union à Wilson's Wharf, sur la James River, dans l'est de Charles City, Virginie. Ils sont repoussés par deux régiments afro-américains des United States Colored Troops sous le commandement du brigadier général Edward A. Wild, qui sont en train de construire une fortification, qui sera par la suite nommé fort Pocahontas. La bataille est le premier combat de l'armée de Virginie du Nord de Robert E. Lee contre des troupes afro-américaines.
