In stock
Under the direction of BRVT Majr. G.L. Gillespie, Chief Engineer, Mil. Div. of the Gulf, this map depicts the Battlefield of Dinnwiddie Court House, Virginia. The Battle of Dinwiddie Court House was a minor engagement in the Appomattox Campaign of the American Civil War that was the immediate prelude to the decisive Battle of Five Forks. On March 31, Maj. Gen. W.H.F. Lees cavalry and Maj. Gen. George Pickett’s infantry division met the Union vanguard north and northwest of Dinwiddie Court House and drove it back, collapsing the Union lines into a tight perimeter around the village, and temporarily stalling Sheridan’s movement. With Union infantry approaching from the east, Pickett withdrew before daybreak to entrench at the vital road junction at Five Forks. Lee ordered Pickett to hold this intersection at all hazard.
