		The Siege of Petersburg (June 15, 1864 – April 2,1865) was a ten-month long siege of Petersburg, Virginia, during the American Civil War.
		On August 13 Union II Corps and X Corps under the overall command of Winfield Scott Hancock crossed the James River at Deep Bottom to threaten Richmond.
		The battle had somewhat restored the II Corps' reputation since Reams' Station, but it did mark the last battle for Hancock, who resigned from field command due to injuries sustained at Gettysburg.

		The casualties for the siege warfare that concluded with the assault on Fort Stedman are estimated to be 42,000 the Union, 28,000 for the Confederates.
