“In the final days of the Petersburg siege, Union soldiers fought with dogged determination against their southern opponents and end the Civil War. It was in these conditions that valor became the daily expectation rather than the exception.”
“From Lewis Farm to Namozine Church, ‘Five Days of Valor’ traces the stories of five Medal of Honor awardees and the battles of their citations. Join our staff in a driving tour of these fields of honor and the exceptional actions of those who fought on it.”
