From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Battle of White Hall, also called the Battle of White Hall Ferry, took place on December 16, 1862, in Wayne County, North Carolina, as part of the Union expedition to Goldsboro, North Carolina, during the American Civil War.
On December 16, Brig. Gen. John G. Foster's Union troops reached White Hall where Brig. Gen. Beverly Robertson's Confederate brigade was holding the north bank of the Neuse River. The Federals demonstrated against the Confederates for much of the day, attempting to fix them in position, while the main Union column continued toward the railroad.
