This Civil War history examines a complex and pivotal, yet often-overlooked, battle of the Petersburg Campaign.
On July 26, 1864, Union general Winfield Scott Hancock's corps and three cavalry divisions under Philip H. Sheridan crossed to the north side of the James River at the Deep Bottom bridgehead. What was supposed to be a raid on Confederate railroads and possibly even a breakthrough to the Confederate capital of Richmond turned into a bloody skirmish.
Richard H. Anderson's Confederate forces prevented a Union victory, but only at a great cost. In response, Robert E. Lee was forced to move half his army from the key fortifications at Petersburg, which were left all the more vulnerable in the subsequent Battle of the Crater.
Historian James S. Price presents an authoritative chronicle of this pivotal moment in the Petersburg Campaign and the close of the war. Including newly constructed maps from Steven Stanley and a foreword from fellow Civil War scholar Hampton Newsome, this is the definitive account of the Battle of First Deep Bottom.
