	The Battle of the Jerusalem Plank Road (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		After moving to the left until he struck the Jerusalem Plank Road, Birney marched south along the road until he came to the Williams farm, where the road to Globe Tavern on the Weldon Railroad branched off to the west.
		The affair ended with the Federal line extended beyond the Jerusalem Plank Road, but not as close to the Rebel line as desired and not as far as desired, since the Weldon Railroad was about a mile to a mile and a half in front of Wright's line.
		The affair along the Jerusalem Plank Road was an inauspicious beginning to Federal siege operations.

		Along the Boydton Plank Road, one of Hancock's staff officers led a charge of the 36th Wisconsin--the third disgraced and flagless regiment--and captured more prisoners than the regiment had men.
		I have a frail hold on the roads between me and the Fifth Corps, and if any accident should prevent my receiving the ammunition and troops at an early hour, the result would be a disaster, as the enemy have hemmed me in and pressed me closely.
		Still, Hancock's men had held their own, and the battle was not a repeat of the previous humiliations at the Jerusalem Plank Road and Reams' Station.

		After the 1st Battle of Bull Run, the defeated Union Army retreated back to their encampments around Washington D.C. In August, the 2nd was reassigned to Couch's Brigade, Division of the Potomac, until October, 1861.

		Where the Jerusalem Plank Road, leading into the city of Petersburg, Va., passed through the earthworks of the contending forces, a little east of south of the city, there had been hot contention from the first approach of the Union army.
		Next to the left of Fort Sedgwick, and near the Jerusalem Plank Road, was Fort Davis, which was at a more comfortable distance from the enemy.
		Yet that seems improbable, as the official surveys place the latter fort some four hundred yards to the south of the Plank Road, while I am certain that we struck the fort or redan in near proximity to the Plank Road and that this was always spoken of after the event as Fort “Damnation.”

		Meanwhile, over on the southern (or right) flank of the battle, the sharpshooters of Samuel McGowan’s Brigade under Captain Dunlop were covering the left flank of Wilcox’s Division as it marched east on the Orange Plank Road.
		Battle’s Alabamians led the attack, preceded by the brigade sharpshooters as usual, and they were soon driving the Pennsylvanians back in the rapidly growing darkness.
		Robert Rodes directed this battle, and Ray says he used the same method as at the North Anna, using his skirmish line initially and then feeding line units forward as needed, using a ravine behind his position to screen the advance of the reinforcements.

		Between the Jerusalem Plank Road battle and the end of July the Petersburg-Richmond front was quiet.
		One of Grant's staff officers thought Hancock was afraid to press forward because of the stunning flank attack which had fallen upon his troops in the Battle of the Jerusalem Plank Road, one month previous.
		Accordingly, Hancock shifted troops to the right to support Sheridan's advance on the Darbytown Road, but the Confederates had reinforced the position during the night with Heth's division and planned an attack of their own, to turn the Federal right and drive the Yankees back south of James River.

		Roads from both Front Royal and Strasburg led north to Winchester, and as Banks finally realized the danger and retreated on the Valley Pike, Jackson followed him on the parallel Front Royal Road, also moving west to the Valley Pike at Middletown to try to cut off Banks' retreat.
		The second mistake, says Guelzo, was Hancock's decision to leave his trains and most of his artillery at the Jerusalem Plank Road as some of his infantry and 16 guns pushed west to Globe Tavern and Warren's Union V Corps.
		Hampton hadn't seen Gibbon's Division, still on the Jerusalem Plank Road, and Hill's 8,000 men could have a tough time with two Union divisions rather than the one they thought they were facing.

		Then we heard of the battle of Jerusalem Plank Road where they trampled and captured a good many of our men.
		We were run in to stem the tide and we followed the Rebs up through a dry swamp full of long grass and briars and other underbrush; finally our company got lost and we were away from each other and could not find our way out anymore.

		Suffolk was a comparative backwater of the Civil War and during the period of January through April 1863, the 155th was engaged in many long reconnaisance marches, one battle (battle of the Deserted House) and incessant fatigue and picket duty.
		After the disastrous battle at Ream's Station, the regiment's strength was reduced to 35 men and 3 officers. Men who recovered from previous battle wounds and those paroled from Confederate prison camps eventually increased the number to around 135 by the Appomattox Campaign of March, 1865.

		Chris Battle, who is managing Asa Hutchinson's campaign for governor, on May 3 sent an e-mail message to a presumably large number of Republican sympathizers across Arkansas.

	Rantings of a Civil War Historian » Gaps in the Coverage of the Civil War
		Although there have been countless books written about major events, such as the Battle of Gettysburg–why in the world do we need yet another book on Pickett’s Charge, anyway–there are none on other, lengthy periods of the war where important events occurred.
		Until Ken Noe’s excellent Perryville: This Grand Havoc of Battle was published in 2001, the only detailed treatment that the Battle of Perryville had received was the God-awful and unreadable book by Kent Hafendorfer.
		My rule of thumb is the more obscure the battle, the better, which is why your forthcoming book on the battle of Monroe Crossroads is one I eagerly await.
