Publisher Description

It seemed like a good idea to frustrate Union commanders: dig a 500-foot long mine underground to reach the fortifications of the long-besieged Confederates at Petersburg, Virginia, and set off a powerful explosion. The result created a 30-foot deep crater and a break in the Confederate line.
