the petersburg story needs a set up before we get to the fall of petersburg. on the 11th day of may in 1864 ulysses s. grant has squared off against property lee -- robert e lee. grant has made it his mission to destroy the army of northern virginia. on may 11, he is going to send a message to washington, "i -- on the city of petersburg. now petersburg is truly a magnificent gem of the city. you are talking about a city that grew up on the line of the appomattox river. at its heart is industry harnessing that waterpower. the people of petersburg live a cosmopolitan lifestyle. they have running water in the downtown area. they have a gas works. the streets are lit by gas lighting. the houses have gas lights inside. petersburg, the city of 18,000 people, is truly a magnificent city. if you read accounts of petersburg prior to the war, you are going to see it referred to as a northern city. because of all the industry that reminded people of some of the great manufacturing centers that you find up north. petersburg, being a manufacturing city, also has developed

he was at petersburg as historian and chief of interpretation. he retired from the park service to take the job to get sailor's creek together for the 150th. the new museum is impressive. a lot of work has been done there. chris will be there to give you some personal tours of both the museum and the battlefield. chris is involved in battlefield preservation. he saved land at petersburg and appomattox. he has written many articles. he received an award of merit for his leadership in history. his talk this morning is entitled by thursday the battle of sailor's creek. please welcome chris. [applause] >> for the benefit of those who were not here last night we are not talking about the entire campaign did i mentioned when i talked at the park and appomattox in the early to mid 1970's, i would come to longwood on my days off. there was only one book published and that was in 1959. it was called "to appomattox."

petersburg and are hoping to keep the team in st. petersburg. we have seen tremendous growth in and around why the stadium is located. and we expect it to continue and hope the growth that continues occurs with the rays there. >> we are seeing a graphic of a stadium that you want to build before the tampa bay rays get a professional sports stadium. why would this field that we are looking at be beneficial to the citizens of st. petersburg. >> let me be clear, the stadium has nothing to do with the rays. it's in the west side of our community, vouched by four other ball parks. what we would be doing by creating this field, is we'd have a field where, number one, international baseball, which we got down hosting with puerto rico and canada can play during the spring. it would be an attractor for college tournaments, high school tournaments. all of those bringing in people. all coming into the community that may have never been in the city. it gives them a chance to see the city and a chance to spend money in our city. >> as we heard a few minutes

most of the fighting was cutting the supply line coming into petersburg and richmond. also by this time in the union forces were now much better than they had been through the war. for the most part the union army would be on the offensive. but the militia and the reserves , like in richmond, these were more clerk. they had other jobs. it did not toward the army toward the confederate army, but there are two stories of valor by the militia or the reserves that take place in the last year of the war. one is june night, 1864. -- june 9 1864. just east of here there was a bottle of old men and young boys. these were civilian altars who came out and defeated the union calvary attack on the petersburg and on the bridge over stand river. we did see some heavy action. all caps, not on duty over time. please. i've always been curious why generally was not aware or did not do something to prevent the separation of forces. bwhich is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] life as i mentioned, the confederate army was on the move from amelia to farmvil

we just told you about petersburg. petersburg and richmond. are you wondering why there is no photograph of lisa rendering to grant? the obvious one, the shot of the century, the greatest photograph there never was. because every photographer in the east had made their way to richmond and was there when lease rendered to grant. -- lee surrendered to grant. sorry, appomattox folks. we win. it is right in here, can we bring down the lights? how do we make these images? there we go. back then, almost all photographs made during the civil war were made in 3-d. the process, you have seen them. they are called stereo views. remember these? you are geeks, too. when you look in those coming can see in 3-d. first, you have two explosions -- to expose the plate. that is what the actual negative looks like. two images, slight variations. your left eye versus your right eye. a little bit more over here. slightly different images. they are going to take that, develop it print it, and mounted on the stereo card which is how it would be sold. this with right

as the armies's move from richmond and petersburg to the west, they will be marching in fighting every day -- and fighting everyday. the weather was wet, it is cool early april. think about the state of the armies, especially the confederate armies which has been the last several months static around petersburg and richmond. all of a sudden the army has to be mobile and you have to move horses and wagons, artillery pieces and the soldiers themselves. pulling them out of the earthworks, getting them on the road, that is a challenge. and then keeping the army moving and together. as you all know, things unravel on the way. one confederate soldier wrote "day and night blended together. oh it was constant action and there will be skirmishing and battles every day. another soldier wrote that " night and day blended together, it was constant marching. if we were not marching we were fighting." even union accounts talk about the hard marches and long days on very bad roads. on the back behind me, it is a busy map that you can see the movement of the armies to cover a lot of ground. there are

he met with the president on march 28, and again on april 3 in petersburg. he had instructions from a march 3 telegram. he had generally instructions on how to conduct his surrender. of course, there would be no talk of other military forces. that was a political consideration to recognize the other forces as a single unit would be in a sense of recognition of the existence of the confederation, would the lincoln administration would never do. had he had any experience? his military experience. but, i venture to say, that no one had more experience of this procedure, military surrender as general grant. he accepted the surrender of four dollars -- fort donnelly, and he became known as unconditional surrender grant. on july 3 1863. could he put his terms explicitly in writing? would there be any second guessing as to what was intended? i put forward to you that he was an excellent writer. his autobiography was just completed. he died one week earlier. it is still in print today and considered one of the best autobiographies in english language. general mead s

applause] >> for the benefit of those not here last night when i was talking about the campaign from petersburg i mentioned when i worked at the park in the early 1970's through the mid-1970's my days off i would close to longwood. only one book published in 1959. it was called "to appottamox," it is a popular book. i had a lot of questions as to where these events took place and how did the army's get from here to there. this book here set up my quest to learn more about these sites. at that time when i worked at a paramedics --, you probably know how order, hebron trading excavator wrist soldier estate in the village. i took the role as a union officer who was stationed on provost duty after the surrender. and he and i were companions in trying to learn more about the events that took place on the retreat. one of the areas that i was interested in was the battle of sailor's creek. sailor's creek became a state park in 1936. became a state park in 1936. efforts were made to purchase more land for the park and have it become a national park. something happened, world war ii came along and the i

he has with him not the 20th maine, but his new brigade after his wounding at petersburg. the 185th new york, hundred 90 if pennsylvanian. he is taking casualties. this guy here. look at that. artillery shell takes off his foot. and some toes on his other foot. some of that artillery fire is coming from the yard of george pierce, at the eastern edge of the village. men in those batteries are members of the richmond howitzers and salem flying artillery. here is an illustration of the firing of the last gun. william brown is with the salem flying artillery. one of those shells finds this fellow here. hiram clarke. kimberlin claims him to be the last casualty. don't know that that is necessarily true. but it is a rather tragic story. hiram clarke is from marathon, new york. he is sick with jaundice in the hospital. he finds out his regimen is moving out i campaign, he absents himself from the hospital and joins his resident -- regimen. arching all the way to appomattox, and is hit by an artillery shelled and killed outright. we always knew about this -- this illustration. a c

soldier husband would come home and general grant would not have to kill him in the trenches at petersburg. he was fighting to bring rebels back in to the union, not to annihilate them. at the end of the march, when the people of savannah surrendered virtually without a fight, they were completely subjugated, sherman wrote. he saw no need to wreck the city's military and industrial facilities or to destroy private homes. an end to resistance mitigated any further need for destruction. five months earlier sherman had told the mayor of atlanta, if you and your citizens will give up, i and this army will become your greatest protectors. and it was a lesson not lost on savannahians. the fate of the march of the city where the march to the city ended was different than the fate of the one where it began. sherman demonstrated for the first time in the modern era the power of terror and psychological warfare in breaking an enemy's will to resist. this concept would come into full bloom during world war ii when both axis and allied powers deliberately and indiscriminately bombed civilians in order
