 Above is a second drawing of the Peebles Farm/Pegram's Farm Operations, 30 Sept. -2 Oct. by the same unidentified artist. Drawn for Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper, both images are in the collection of the New-York Historical Society. The six-sided redoubt was afterwards reversed by Federal soldiers and renamed Fort Wheaton after Capt. J. H. Wheaton, 1st Michigan Infantry, killed during the fighting.

Hmmm... take a look at the version of this scene published in Leslie's by Charles Chapin. It is virtually the same except the published drawing has infantry and a V Corps banner in the foreground. More on this.

My great-grandfather PVT Richard Bynum Vann, was captured on Sept. 30, 1865. He lived to 1933. Leave a Reply. |
