Goodrich's Landing LA014

supportedunresolved Reid says he learned through Black residents that fighting was going on at the Mounds and sent the First Kansas Mounted to meet the raiders, who proved too strong for it.

Attributed knowledge in one report; no inspected message log.

supportedunresolved Reid says his post had a strong earth-and-cotton fortification but no artillery until a section had just arrived, and that a Marine Brigade boat's fire frightened the raiders off. NPS says naval boats landed the Marine Brigade at Goodrich's Landing by the next morning.

Supply and naval-support statements from one report and a summary; no inspected return.

supportedunresolved NPS says the Confederates meant to recapture freedpeople and destroy the crops on federally leased plantations. Walker says his forces broke up those plantations from Milliken's Bend to Lake Providence, capturing some 2,000 Black people who, he says, were returned to enslavement ('restored to their masters'), except those captured in arms and a few he describes as the property of disloyal citizens, and that he had planned to push on toward Providence and Ashton.

Stated aims from a summary and the Confederate division commander's report; his words are quoted as evidence of the raid's purpose and effect.

disputedpost_outcome NPS places the surrender of the mound fort on the 29th; Reid says the raiders attacked at the Mounds on the 29th, capturing two companies; Walker dates the capitulation to the 30th.

The dates conflict; both lie inside the frozen June 29–30 interval and neither is adopted.

supportedpost_outcome The frozen result reads Inconclusive and the live result Indecisive. NPS says Parsons disengaged and fell back after skirmishing with Ellet's force, and calls the raid a minor setback for the Union. Walker says he received Taylor's order that night to march his division to Berwick Bay.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. NPS's 'minor setback' is campaign context.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads Total unknown (US 120; CS unknown); the live field reads 156 total (US 150; CS 6;). Reid reports one lieutenant killed, one severely wounded and two privates wounded in the skirmish, and says the Confederates report 5 or 6 killed; Walker gives 113 soldiers and 3 officers surrendered at the mound.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. Surrendered and skirmish losses are different populations; no total is adopted.

disputedunresolved Walker says the officers proposed, and Parsons, acting under his orders, accepted, a surrender on condition that they be treated as prisoners of war and the armed Black soldiers surrender unconditionally, and that Tappan approved the convention. NPS instead says the Confederates demanded unconditional surrender and the garrison accepted. NPS says Ellet set out at dawn with Colonel Wood's African-American units. The frozen and live commanders are Ellet, a Brigadier General, and Parsons, a Colonel.

Command roles from one Confederate report and a summary; the surrender terms conflict and neither account is adopted. The frozen commanders do not receive automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field lists the Mississippi Marine Brigade and two African-descent regiments against two Texas cavalry regiments, a Louisiana battalion and two batteries, without counts; the live field reads zero. Walker says Parsons found 113 Black soldiers and 3 white officers in the fortified position. Reid says the Confederate force west of the bayou was variously estimated at 5,000 to 9,000 under Walker, and that part of Parsons' cavalry brigade did the damage.

Garrison, district and raiding-force figures differ in scope; none is adopted as matched opening strength. Live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedinherited NPS says the Federals had built a fort on an Indian mound to protect leased plantations. Walker says the position, on a high mound whose sides had been scooped and strengthened, was of great strength and would have cost many lives to take by assault.

Inherited relative to the June 29 start; the fort was built beforehand. No map verification or numerical effect.
