From the American Battlefield Trust September 2021 Calendar.
I missed writing about this last month. Oops.
PEEBLE'S FARM, Virginia
481 acres saved

Lt. General Ulysses S. Grant's Richmond-Petersburg Campaign was the longest active campaign of the Civil War, lasting almost 300 days.
The Battle of Peeble's Farm (September 30, 1864) and the Battle of the Breakthrough (April 2, 1865) were fought on this same land.
This is one of the many battlefields in this region that the Trust works to protect amid increased industrial and commercial development.
