On July 30, 1864, the struggle for the Crater at Petersburg, Virginia, was one of the bloodiest clashes of the Civil War. One of the most forgotten reasons that explained why thousands of Federals were unable to charge through the Crater and gain their strategic objectives to capture Petersburg was because of the remarkable defense of General Stephen Elliott and his South Carolina Brigade, despite having lost hundreds of men in the great mine explosion of 4 tons of black powder that had been placed under Elliott's Salient. Quite simply, the South Carolinians saved the day and Petersburg, although General Elliott, who even led a counterattack to thwart the Federals, was mortally wounded, although he would not die until shortly after the Civil War. This is a remarkable story not previously told in full by generations of Civil War historians.
