by Richard Wayne Lykes

This booklet, published in 1970 by the National Park Service, narrates the significant ten-month campaign for the city of Petersburg, Virginia, during the American Civil War. The campaign, spanning from June 1864 to March 1865, is recognized as a pivotal event that ultimately led to the Confederacy's surrender within two weeks. The text emphasizes the campaign's strategic importance and the shared experiences of soldiers on both sides, offering a broader historical perspective without delving excessively into specific military units.
