BATTERY FIVE / “Opportunity Lost”

Once this salient is captured, Northern troops have an open road into Petersburg.  But, poor Federal leadership turns four days of fighting into nine and a half months of siege warfare.  A nutshell view of how it happened.

In March of 1865, Robert E. Lee faces 3 choices.  The one he picks could change the outcome of the war.  What will be the result when Lee’s last offensive is launched?

HARE’S HILL  /  “Fame with a Heavy Price”

June 18th, 1864…The First Maine Heavy Artillery earn an unenviable place in Civil War history; the largest loss of life for any single unit in any single assault.

THE CRATER BATTLE  /  “Richmond is a Hard Road to Travel”
