Book synopsis

Colonel Henry Pleasants, commander of the 48th Pennsylvania Volunteers, ordered the detonation of explosive charges placed under a confederate gun emplacement guarding Petersburg, Virginia. The detonation created a crater measuring 30 feet deep, 170 feet long, and from 60 to 80 feet wide. The Union was unable to break through, and the pit rapidly filled with hundreds of dead blue and gray soldiers. The pit will forever be remembered as the battle of the Crater, and the Valley of Death. Private Henry War, C Company, 27th Ohio United States Colored Infantry, was born on 22 February 1845. He died on July 29, 1920 and served his country bravely during the Civil War. This book is dedicated to his memory and the memory of all the African American and Native American soldiers that served in the Union and Confederate Armies during our countries second revolution.
