Veteran narrator recalls the final Shenandoah and Richmond campaigns of 1865. He details Sheridan’s cavalry maneuvers from Waynesboro to Five Forks, Grant’s support, Custer’s execution, and the march through mud and woodlands. He notes Lincoln’s front presence, troop dispositions, losses, and the mood of weary soldiers near Dinwiddie and Petersburg.
Early morning orders sent Warren toward Dinwiddie Court House blocked by Gravelly Run bridge destruction. Sheridan collects Sixth Eighth and Nineteenth Corps, pursuing fast movement in Shenandoah while Confederate nerves rise at news of reinforced infantry. The surprising pace hints at broader strategic pressure.
