Ku dhammaystir weedha soo socota:
weerarkii Mahone ee Hancock's II Corps ee Ream's Station, Virginia 41aad waxay ku laabatay difaaca koonfurta Petersburg. In kasta oo Hancock uu ka laabtay Ream's Station, booska Warren ee Globe Tavern ayaa gooyay Weldon Railroad, laakiin Lee wali wuxuu awooday inuu sahay ka qaado tareenka Boydton Plank Road. Bishii Oktoobar 27, Grant wuxuu u diray saddex kooxood si ay u qabsadaan wadada, Mahone iyo Heth ayaa loo diray inay joojiyaan weerarka. Qeybta Mahone waxay ku hormartay kaynta waxayna hoos u dhigtay garabka midig ee Hancock's II Corps ee Dabney Mill Road. Taliyayaasha ciidamada qadiimiga ah ee II Corps ayaa si dhaqso leh u beddelay jagooyinkoodii waxayna hareereeyeen Qaybta Mahone, iyagoo dib u riixaya isbaheysiga iyagoo khasaare badan soo gaaray. Hancock ayaa dib u noqday, Confederates-kiina waxay dib ugu laabteen difaacooda Boydton Plank Road.
