BATTLE OF DEATONSVILLE

The Battle of Deatonsville took place on April the 6th 1864 during the American Civil War. The Confederate army under Robert E Lee, while in full retreat from Petersburg, at the close of the last campaign about that city and Richmond, was struck near Deatonsville, Virginia, by Crook, commanding the left of Sheridan's pursuing forces. Crook's forces were repulsed by superior numbers, but his assault enabled Custer to join him and attack Robert E Lee a little further on at Sailor's Creek. Ewell's forces were cut off and compelled to surrender.
