Historic Structures Report for Fort Haskell
Gray WG. 1954. Historic Structures Report for Fort Haskell. Historic Structure Report. Petersburg, Virginia
The restoration for Fort Haskell is recommended as the most efficient means of interpreting a field fortification as it existed during the Petersburg Campaign of 1864-1865. This battlefield has extensive remains of some 28 field works and some thirty miles of fortified lines. Resotration of one of these sites would vitalize a phase of military history that is quite removed from the ordinary visitor's knowledge. One will be able to see how the soldiers besieging the city of Petersburg lived and how they were protected from the storm of fire from the nearby Confederate positions.
