Petersburg, VA
Jun 15-18, 1864
Marching from Cold Harbor, Meade's Army of the Potomac crossed the James River on transports and a 2,200-foot long pontoon bridge at Windmill Point. Butler's leading elements (XVIII Corps and Kautz's cavalry) crossed the Appomattox River at Windmill Point and attacked the Petersburg defenses on Jun 15. The 5,400 defenders of Petersburg under command of Gen. P.G.T. Beauregard were driven from their first line of entrenchments back to Harrison Creek. After dark the XVIII Corps was relieved by the II Corps. On Jun 16, the II Corps captured another section of the Confederate line; on the 17th, the IX Corps gained more ground. Beauregard stripped the Howlett Line (Bermuda Hundred) to defend the city, and Lee rushed reinforcements to Petersburg from the Army of Northern VA. The II,XI, and V Corps from right to left attacked on June 18 but were repulsed with heavy casualties. By then the Confederate works were heavily mnned and the Union's greatest opportunity to capture Petersburg without a siege was lost. The siege of Petersburg began. Union Gen. James St. Calir Morton, chief engineer of the IX Corps, was killed on Jun 17.
Result: Confederate victory.
Forces engaged: 104,000 total, US 62,000; CS 42,000.

The burial corps worked for three years until 1869. In that time they re-interred 6,718 remains. Only 2,139 bodies were positively identified.
The Confederate dead were re-interred in the nearby Blandford Church Cemetery in Petersburg. Of the nearly 30,000 Confederate dead buried here, only about 2,000 names are known.
