Right now I'm working on a history of Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's second offensive at Petersburg, June 20-July 1, 1864. I think I'll call it, Lee Besieged: Grant's Second Offensive at Petersburg, June 20-July 1, 1864. I started by looking at the late Edwin C. Bearss's original study of the fighting and, for unpublished material, Noah Andre Trudeau's The Last Citadel. I recommend these works to anyone else writing about the fighting around Petersburg. Other very helpful starting points include beyondthecrater.com and petersburgproject.org. From there I went into more published and unpublished material.
I just finished my draft yesterday. It will go out for examination by friends and acquaintances who themselves have published on the siege while I map and otherwise illustrate the book. I estimate that mapping and otherwise illustrating will take a year or two.
The second offensive occupied a critical period in the siege. Underway was Grant's first attempt to invest Petersburg from the Appomattox River below the city to the Appomattox above, a very complicated maneuver. This first attempt ended in disaster. It might have succeeded against Brig. Gen. John B. Floyd, who had commanded Fort Donelson, or Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton, who had commanded at Vicksburg, but Grant was facing Gen. Robert E. Lee and did not reach the river above Petersburg until April 2, 1865 during the ninth of his offensives.
