In November 1864, Union Brig. Gen. John
Davidson led an expedition from Baton
Rouge toward the Mobile & Ohio R.R. On
December 10, part of his force crossed
the Chickasawhay River and met two
Confederate cavalry regiments at McLeods
Mill. After some initial success, the
Federals were repulsed. Both sides
suffered losses, including Lt. Albert
Westinghouse of the 2nd N.Y. Cavalry, the
brother of Inventor George Westinghouse.
After the action at Leakesville, Davidson
abandoned his raid and moved south.
