Description
On April 1, 1865, U.S. troops attacked Confederates forces at a crossroads called Five Forks. Its capture would threaten the Confederates' only remaining supply route. On the 160th anniversary of the battle, join a Park Ranger for a 30–45 minute program examining this important engagement that helped bring an end to the siege.
