From dust jacket: In front of Petersburg, Virginia, in the summer of 1864, Grant was forced to call a halt. His army, the superb, battered Army of the Potomac, could face no more assaults on the Confederate lines. Robert E. Lee and his ragged heroes, entrenched in a long line with fortified Petersburg at its center, were prepared to kill all the Yankees in the world -- given sufficient ammunition and trenches from which to shoot. Temporarily, at least, stalemate had been reached. Into this puzzle, like a flash of summer lightning, came anew element. A young civil engineer from Pennsylvania, Henry Pleasants, Lieutenant Colonel commanding the 48th Pennsylvania Volunteers, stated flatly that he could blow the center out of the Confederate fortifications, opening a path for an army corps to move in between the two halves of Lee's army. Give him the opportunity and the tools, he begged, and the war would be over in a month! Many in the Army of the Potomac, particularly in the high command, were aghast at his suggestions. No such mine tunnel had ever been known in the history of warfare. Young Pleasants was a fool, a self-seeking poseur who would risk an army to get himself noticed. Anyway, they said, he was not a Regular -- and his ideas were most irregular. But Pleasants succeeded! He and his regiment of hard-coal miners from Pennsylvania did blow the center out of the Confederate Army position. And the war was not over for nine months, during which thousands more died that the nation might live. What happened to the mine and why, after unbelievable heroism and great sacrifice, the situation at Petersburg remained static, is the story of Inferno at PEtersburg.
