From the 2021 American Battlefield Trust calendar for March.

On March 31, 1865, Major General Gouverneur Warren's Union V Corps assaulted entrenched Confederates along White Oak Road.
Visitors to the battlefield today can still see the remains of these Confederate earthworks along a 0.64-mile interpretive trail managed by the Trust.
The more than 900 acres the Trust has saved here, including 48 acres in 2020, will eventually be a part of the Petersburg National Battlefield.
