My cousin George Zelenack went to the trouble of sniffing out typographical errors in The Siege of Petersburg: The Battles for the Weldon Railroad, August 1864. Thanks, George! Here's what they are:
I have found more substantial errors:
1) The Western Brigade of Terry's division on August 16, 1864, attacked not in column of divisions but in column of battalions, and thus with skirmishers not eleven deep but five deep. OR 42, 1:689 ("doubled in column at half distance"), 699 ("doubled on the center...formed in double column").
2) The Wilson-Kautz Raid did not leave the Richmond & Danville Railroad and the South Side Railroad inoperable until September but only until early July. Greg Eanes, Destroy the Junction: The Wilson-Kautz Raid & the Battle for the Staunton River Bridge, June 21, 1864 to July 1, 1864 (Lynchburg, Va.: H. E. Howard, 1999), 166-168, 207-208.
Mea culpa!
