Excerpt from A Guide: To the Fortifications and Battlefields Around Petersburg, With a Splendid Map, From Actual Surveys Made by the U. S, Engineer Dep'mt
This little volume is published as a Hand-Book to visitors who visit the city of Petersburg, for the purpose of reviewing the fortifications and battlefields around the city. The material has been kindly furnished by one of the most efficient Engineer officers of the U. S. Army, who was himself a prominent actor in the great siege, and can be relied upon as accurate in every particular. The map which accompanies this work thus becomes perfectly clear to every reader.
It was remarked by an English gentleman visiting these works, that "if these battlefields, surrounded by such memories as they are, were in Europe, they would be visited by more Americans than they now are." And his remark was true. How comparatively few of the people of this country have visited these fields, so accessible and possessing so much more historic interest than any equal extent of ground in this country. Even of those who have done so, but few of them have obtained an intelligent idea of the siege, the position of the two armies, the character of the tremendous defensive works which cover the country about the city. People leave their homes with the erroneous idea that Petersburg is merely a sort of suburb to Richmond, to be visited for a few hours if at all. Instead of being secondary, it is the prominent point of interest and importance.
The tremendous struggle, that resulted in the fall of Richmond and the close of the rebellion, was around Petersburg, and here it is that for eight long months your husbands, sons, brothers, and dearest friends fought and suffered.
When the history of the late war is written, every foot of this ground will have a prominent mention, and to and those who visit these fields and wish to obtain an intelligent idea of their history, this guide book has been prepared.
