(5-2001) Petersburg National Battlefield: Grant's Headquarters at City Point
 
General Grant's cabin during the siege of Petersburg. There was (is) a fine house just a short distance from here, but Gen. Grant wanted that used by his Quartermaster people as an office. Grant's family stayed with him in the cabin during their visits

Model of shelter built by Union troops during siege. Shelter held 4 men and as you can see was topped by canvas. Thousands of these were built during the 10 months of the siege. The whole area for miles around Petersburg and Richmond was totally denuded of trees. This photo was taken during visits to Battlefield in Oct 2001
