Included are Hatcher's Run, the Appomattox River, Petersburg, Dinwiddie Court House, and the Weldon Railroad.
Union forces involved included Warren's Fifth Corps infantry and Sheridan's cavalry. Accused by Sheridan of insubordination and failure to cooperate, Warren was removed from command during the height of battle.
