THE SECOND CORPS STOCKPILES AMMUNITION AFTER THE FAILED

Item Details

Description

Scarce war-date document on Headquarters, Army of Potomac letterhead, 1p. 8vo., Virginia, June 9, 1864, an order given and signed by Gen. Edward Warner (1835-1905) on behalf of a 'Gen. Arm P [?]' to the Quartermaster's Department, directing them to supply an artillery group within the Second Corps '...with such ammunition as [they] may require. Send the wagons...immediately...'. Fine condition. This letter likely relates to the Union's failures in the First Battle of Petersburg on June 9, 1864, where 4,500 troops from the Army of the James failed to defeat a Confederate force of 2,500 men, many of whom were teenage boys and elderly men. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, learning from this defeat about the feeble defenses of the important rail junction, quickly changed his objective from decisively defeating Lee's Army of Northern Virginia to conquering Petersburg instead. The siege of the city began just six days later.
