History of the PETERSBURG 1864-1865 Battle Streamer
After a series of strategic maneuvers, General Grant made a decisive move in June 1864 to besiege Petersburg, a crucial transportation hub linking Richmond with the south. Surprising General Lee, Grant's forces swiftly crossed the James River and reached Petersburg. Despite initial opportunities, Federal delays allowed Lee to reinforce the city, thwarting early Union attempts to seize it. A failed assault in June was followed by a costly engagement at "The Crater" in July, where Union forces failed to capitalize on a breach in the Confederate line. Subsequently, Grant resorted to siege tactics, maintaining pressure on Petersburg until April 1865.
