But could not finish off the Union Army the next day at the battle of Pleasant Hill. The Federals were able to retreat back down the Red River Valley to Ellick, where the Naval component of the expedition was stranded by low water. A Union army engineer named Bailey built a temporary dam which raised the water level enough for the steamboats to float over the shoals and escape. The campaign was a failure for the Union, but not the disaster it might have been.
