The <entity_0> (also called the Battle of Fort Pocahontas) was a <entity_4> in Union Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign against Confederate Gen. Robert E.

Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry division (about 2,500 men) attacked the Union supply depot at Wilson's Wharf, on the James River in eastern <entity_1>. The <entity_4> was the first combat encounter of Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern <entity_3> with African-American troops. Wild's brigade landed in <entity_3> in <entity_2> and began building the fort at Wilson's Wharf, one of a series of protective outposts guarding supply lines for Union Maj. Gen. Benjamin Butler's Bermuda Hundred Campaign. Around noon on <entity_2>, Lee's men charged and drove in the Union pickets who were posted near the <entity_1> Road, about a 1 mile (1.6 km) north of the fort. It was the first significant combat encounter between the Army of Northern <entity_3> and black soldiers, who had fought well in a defensive <entity_4> against a larger attacking force.
