Battles Of The American Civil War | Ep. 125 | Decatur | Boydton Plank Road | Second Newtonia

We are nearing the end of October, 1864, and we have another four battles on this week's episode. The battle of Decatur, TN was fought on October, 26th-29th, where Confederate General John Hood attempts to cross the Tennessee River, but the Union has other plans.

For the next two battles, we head back to the Siege of Petersburg where Grant plans another two pronged attack on October 27th-28th. One at Boydton Plank Road to cut off a supply line to Petersburg and the other at Fair Oaks and Darbytown Road to attack the Richmond defenses.

Our final battle we once again head back to Price's Missouri raid and the Second Battle of Newtonia on October 28th. This was the final battle of the raid and pretty much the end of Price's force.
