Bloodiest Battle Recalled By General Starbird Story
Gen Isaac W Starbird, former commander in the First Maine Heavy Artillery, recalls the June 18 1864 Petersburg assault. He details two facing regiments advancing through timber to a meadow slope, the ferocious cannon and rifle fire, massed lines breaking under fire, and the heavy toll with nearly a thousand charged but only about three hundred reaching cover, leaving the field strewn with dead and wounded.
