![]() |
The siege of Petersburg consisted of about 19 separate actions between the opening assaults in June, 1864, and the end of the siege with the battle of Five Forks and the final assaults in April, 1865. Several of these actions are related and so are properly treated together.
The accounts in this list were originally written by the
author for posting to the newsgroups alt.civil.war.usa and
soc.history.war.us-civil-war, and are based on his own reading
and research using mostly standard sources such as those listed
in the bibliography.
During the first several months of the site's existence, the
actual content of the articles will be undergoing constant
revision. The presence of the "updated" symbol means that the page
is essentially in its final form; the presence of the
"draft" symbol
means that the page has been uploaded, but is not
yet in final form.
