Re: regiments in g.t. anderson's brigade

Ralph,

Off hand, no. However there are some maps that Bryce Suderow provided me some years ago that may provide an answer. I believe that they were drawn with the old battlefield works over the current highway system. This is what I have from a diary of a soldier in E Co. 7th Georgia:

June 16th Thur
Div marches out at 8 Ocl A.M. in direction of Drewrys Bluff. Cross half a
mile above bluff about 12 Ocl M. March in 7 miles of Petersburg. Some
fighting. Enemy driven back over 2 lines of breastwork but still hold main
line 13 miles

June 17th Fri
Sharpshooting all day. Gen Pickett & Fields Div charge and take possession
of our main line of entrenchments about 5 Ocl P.M. Some prisoners taken.

June 18th Satur
Div moves out at 10 Ocl A.M. march out 1 mile of from Petersburg East [?]:
relieve Johnston Div at dark, 8 miles Enemy pressing the lines

Contact me by e-mail (hpersons@msn.com) or 410-969-2547.

Also, Bryce is far more expert on the Richmond/Petersburg campaign than I.
