Sean Chick and Thoughtful Pug) Description: As Grant forged ahead during the Overland Campaign, he decided to forego a direct assault on the Confederate capital at Richmond and opted instead to strike at Petersburg to the south. Taking Petersburg would render Richmond indefensible and trap a significant portion of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia. We look at events around Petersburg from June 9 to July 30, 1864. After the Battle of the Crater, the campaign settled into a lengthy siege over the winter of 1864-1865.
