Battle of Gainesville
The Battle of Gainesville (not to be confused with the First Skirmish of Gainesville of 14 February 1864) was fought on 17 August 1864, when a Confederate force defeated Union detachments on a raid from the Union garrison in the Jacksonville, Florida, area. However, the other and first Battle of Gainesville was fought on 14 February 1864, when a small unit associated with the February 1864 Florida Expedition, defeated a Confederate cavalry unit.
==Background==
Gainesville, site of a railroad junction and depot in north central Florida, was the scene of two small-scale engagements during the war. On 14 February 1864, the first battle occurred when about 50 Union troops entered the city intending to capture two trains. Company H of the 2nd Florida Cavalry with 130 men attempted to repulse this raid, but were defeated by the Union force, which successfully returned to Jacksonville after holding the town.〔http://battleofolustee.org/letters/mass-gnv.htm Order signed by General Truman Seymour in the Official Records and newspaper article detailing Federal victory at 14 February 1864 skirmish in Gainesville.
