DESCRIPTION:“A Perfect Hell of Blood: The Battle of the Crater”\nSaturday\, May 16\, 2026 | 11:00 AM – 12:00 PMLocation: Education Gallery (First Floor)ISBN: 9781469684819 \nJoin The National Civil War Museum for a compelling presentation by prizewinning author A. Wilson Greene\, as he discusses the Battle of the Crater. \nThe contest for Petersburg\, Virginia lasted 292 days in 1864 and 1865\, but the most memorable of those days was July 30\, 1864.  It was then that intrepid Union miners exploded a mine under a Confederate fort\, creating a gigantic crater and blowing a 500-yard wide gap in the enemy lines.  Ulysses S Grant characterized the tragic attacks that followed as ‘the saddest affair I witnessed in the war’ and the Battle of the Crater is widely considered to be the most transcendent event of the entire Petersburg Campaign. \nAdmission\nAdmission to the program is free. Regular Museum admission applies for those wishing to tour the National Civil War Museum galleries. \nAbout the Author\nA. Wilson Greene spent forty-four years in public history\, including twenty-four years working on the Petersburg battlefields. His first volume in this trilogy\, From the Crossing of the James to the Crater\, was published in 2018. Greene resides in Walden\, Tennessee. \n2025 Commended – Best Civil War Book\, Civil War Monitor
