  Few wartime cities in Virginia held more importance than Petersburg. On the eve of the Civil War, the city elected a conservative, pro-Union approach to the sectional crisis. This book provides a study of this city, looking at both Petersburg's civilian experience and the city's place in Confederate military strategy and administration.
