Blue & Gray Magazine, Vol. XXVIII, No. 5 (2012): Action on Petersburg’s Western Front, March 25, 1865

by William C. Wyrick

BTC’s Take: This issue focuses on the Siege of Petersburg action along the skirmish line on Petersburg’s Western front.  Lee’s offensive gamble on the morning of March 25 at Fort Stedman led Union forces to probe the Confederate lines elsewhere looking for weaknesses.  These battles and actions are covered here in perhaps as much detail as you’ll ever see.
