SynopsisIn May 1864, with Lee's army occupied in an attempt to delay Grant'sadvance toward the Confederate capital, the Army of the Jamescommanded by Benjamin Butler disembarked 15,000 Union troops atBermuda Hundred, five miles from Petersburg and several vitalConfederate supply lines. Although the Union was slow to realize thevalue of the position the troops held, the Confederacy was not., In June 1864, as Grant attempted to seize the Confederate rail hub of Petersburg, Virginia, Union commander General Ambrose Burnside advanced the unusual idea of allowing the 48th Pennsylvania'a regiment from the mining town of Pottsville'to excavate a mine, effectively tunneling under Confederate entrenchments. With special emphasis on the role of the 48th Pennsylvania, this history provides an in-depth examination of the Battle of the Crater, which took place during July 1864. The work examines the ways in which the personality conflict between generals George Meade and Ambrose Burnside ultimately cost the Union an opportunity to capture Petersburg and bring an early end to the war, and how the cooperation of Confederate commanders helped to turn certain defeat into an unexpected Southern achievement. Appendices include a list of forces that took part in the battle, a table of casualties from the battle and a list of soldiers decorated for gallantry during the conflict.
