- Garry Adelman of the American Battlefield Trust is joined by Bobby Krick of the National Park Service to give an in-depth overview of the Battle of Haw's Shop, a cavalry action which followed the events at North Anna as Ulysses S. Grant attempted to keep pressure on Robert E. Lee's Army during the Overland Campaign of 1864.
This video was originally made for American Battlefield Trust Color Bearer members and is now available for our entire UA-cam audience!
Very sad that beautiful field will be developed. Thanks for your work Bobby and Garry!
Well done chaps. Very informative.
Development on such sacred land, is deplorable.
Regards from Perth, Western Australia.
Two of my great-great uncles, Joseph and Samuel Siegfried, had joined the 6th Ohio Cavalry in March '64 as teenagers (the younger one lying about his age). Just months later they were both shot in action at Haw's Shop. I'll have to go an see where they were wounded before that hallowed ground is a field of McMansions.
Thank you very much for trying to literally save part of my family’s history and possibly my last untouched view of his battle field death . Progress VS History what a dilemma for all to consider. I hope the new home owners know they are living on sacred ground and pay some tribute to our past struggles for freedom . Soldier on BFT your doing great work. Thank You !
I love these!! Keep them coming from California!
These guys r in a world of their own! I’m so appreciative. I’m reading Gordon Rheas book on Cold Harbor right now, just finished June 1. Grant and Meade are puttzing around, Hancock slow, Lee strengthening earthworks. These guys bring history to life! Thank u!!!
you all probably dont care at all but does any of you know of a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can give me.

I had 2 relatives (brothers Thomas Crago and James Crago) who fought here for the 1st PA. James died in this battle, and within a month, Thomas was captured and sent to Andersonville prison camp where he died. I was fortunate to visit here in 10/2023 before too much of the area is developed.
I’ve been here. There are graves almost right up next to the walls of the church!
My relative Alexander McClure with Company C, Michigan 6th Cav. Was killed at Haw’s Shop. His brother Nathan also with the 6th survived the war that began for them at Gettysburg. I’ve looked at the battlefield on google maps / earth and at one time I saw a note east of the farm house that said Second Union Cemetery. Do either of you know of any marker for where the union soldiers were buried?
Sad that this pristine historic site will be developed.
Thank you guys
Sooo, what is Bobby’s thoughts about Phil Sheridan?? Inquiring minds want to know!!
I’m so glad I visited here already! I am going back this weekend one last time!
such a shame to lose a genuine battlefield to housing. but wait a minute..who would want to buy a house sitting on 700 graves? your house will have zero resell value.
I did videos on Ft. Dickerson in Knoxville, TN and one on the person it was named after.
Google maps already shows two houses going up in the field. 😢😢
It makes little sense to do 10 acre tracts with 400-500k homes on it. What a shame
"There Lies the Best Fighting Colonel in the Cavalry Corps" Gen Custer upon looking at the body of Colonel Addison Preston 1st Vermont Cavalry killed Haws Shop
Very sad that it will be lost. Is there any plans to do any archeology work before building and moving the confederate graves on that portion of the battlefield?
I think you are on studley road ?
Yep, that’s Studley Rd today. I live about a mile down the road from the battlefield, right by the crossroads they mentioned. There are four houses in that field today, with several more going up
Wait, so this battlefield is going to be houses soon??
Already been built. Where possible earthworks have been saved
Greed! Is a evil entity
..sad!
Yes it is
As enjoyable as these are -- PLEASE include maps that indicate where the speakers are referring.
Sad😢 Building houses there now.
how sad it is that progress gets in the way of History,,,,,,Sorry guys!!
I understand, not trying to stall anything, but for right or wrong reasons, men suffered incredibly for a cause they may or may not have totally understood but felt a sense of duty. Southerners protecting their land, wife’s, daughters and families. North likely defending a novel experiment. As I said, 12 years of my life in Richmond, there is land. This is likely money, money can do this. Anyway, appreciate ur comment Randy, please don’t take mine the wrong way. No offense at all meant by it, just my opinion.
