- Battle_of_Lewis's_Farm abstract "The Battle of Lewis's Farm (also known as Quaker Road, Military Road, or Gravelly Run) was fought on March 29, 1865, in Dinwiddie County, Virginia during the American Civil War. It is generally considered the opening battle of the Appomattox Campaign. In climactic battles at and after the end of the Siege of Petersburg, the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia commanded by General Robert E. Lee was dislodged from its defensive lines. On April 2–3, 1865, the Confederates began to move to the west and, on April 9, 1865, they surrendered to the pursuing Union Army after the Battle of Appomattox Court House.On March 24, 1865, Union General-in-chief, Lieutenant General Ulysses S. Grant, ordered a major offensive against the remaining Confederate lines of supply, the Southside Railroad, the Richmond and Danville Railroad and the Boydton Plank Road. If the Confederates could be turned out of their defenses, Grant directed that the Union force to break and get behind the Confederate far right flank on the White Oak Road Line southwest of Petersburg. In the early morning of March 29, 1865, two corps of the Union Army of the Potomac under Major Generals Gouverneur K. Warren and Andrew A. Humphreys, moved to the south and west toward the end of the Confederate line. These defenses were manned by the Fourth Corps of the Army of Northern Virginia under the command of Lieutenant General Richard H. Anderson, which was composed only of the division of Major General Bushrod Johnson. Marching up the Quaker Road toward the Confederate line, Warren's lead brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Joshua Chamberlain, engaged three brigades of Johnson's division at the Lewis Farm. Reinforced by a four-gun artillery battery and relieved by two large regiments from the brigade commanded by Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General Edgar M. Gregory, the Union troops ultimately forced the Confederates back to their defenses. Chamberlain was wounded and narrowly escaped capture. Union Colonel and Brevet Brigadier General Alfred L. Pearson was awarded the Medal of Honor 32 years later for his heroic actions.Casualties were nearly even at 381 for the Union and 371 for the Confederates, but as the battle ended, Warren's corps held an important objective, a portion of the Boydton Plank Road at its junction with the Quaker Road. Within hours, Major General Philip Sheridan's cavalry corps of the Army of the Shenandoah occupied Dinwiddie Court House, also severing the Boydton Plank Road. The Union forces were close to the Confederate line and poised to attack the Confederate flank, the important road junction of Five Forks and the two remaining open Confederate railroad lines.".
