On July 26,1864, Union general Winfield Scott Hancock’s corps and three cavalry divisionsunder Philip H. Sheridan crossed to the north side of the James River at theDeep Bottom bridgehead. What was supposed to be a raid on Confederate railroadsand possibly even a breakthrough to the Confederate capital of Richmond turnedinto a bloody skirmish. Richard H. Anderson’s Confederate forces prevented aUnion victory, but only at a great cost. Robert E. Lee was forced to move halfhis army from the key fortifications at Petersburg in response. Petersburg wasall the more vulnerable for Grant’s next move, the infamous Battle of the Crater.Including newly constructed maps from Steven Stanley and a foreword from fellowCivil War scholar Hampton Newsome, this title is the definitive account of anoften-overlooked battle. Join author and historian James S. Price as herecounts a pivotal moment in the Petersburg Campaign and the close of the war.
