Jerusalem Plank Road VA065

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Hill passed through the opening between Birney and Wright and that Birney's first information of his presence was fire on Barlow's flank and rear.

Attributed knowledge from an interested history; no message log inspected.

supportedunresolved NPS calls the Weldon Railroad one of the major supply lines into Petersburg; Lee says the June 23 demonstration was driven back before it had done much damage to the railroad.

Statements about the objective's supply role, not a supply return.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says the movement aimed to take the Weldon Railroad and secure the South Side Railroad, the corps' transfer being to encircle Petersburg far enough to hold both railroads.

Stated aims from an interested history.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen result reads 'Union gained ground' and the live result Union Victory, while the descriptions say the Second Corps was forced from the railroad but the siege lines were extended west. Lee says the enemy was driven from his first line to his second on June 22 and back from the railroad on June 23. Humphreys says the Second Corps re-established itself the next morning on the line it had been driven from, and the two armies stayed in that general position for some weeks.

Retain the original result and engagement interval; later movements and campaign contribution are different measures. No new probabilities or individual causal credit. The live 'Union Victory' and the frozen 'Union gained ground' are different categories; not reconciled.

disputedpost_outcome The frozen casualty text reads 4,000 total and the live field 3,534 (US 2,962; CS 572). Humphreys gives the Second Corps loss as about 1,700 prisoners, four guns and several colors, with killed and wounded not severe; Lee reports about 1,600 prisoners, 4 guns and 8 colors on June 22, about 600 prisoners on June 23, and, separately, his entire loss on the morning of June 24 as 97 killed and wounded and 209 missing, the morning on which he reports that part of one of Hoke's brigades entered the enemy's works; the inspected passages do not tie that action to Mahone's fights or establish that it belongs to this record.

Original casualty returns were not inspected; preserve totals, categories, cutoffs and differences. No canonical reconciliation or casualty-based opening count; related actions must not be added without resolving population overlap. The prisoner counts are captor and loser figures for overlapping populations. Lee's June 24 morning loss belongs to the Hoke attack he reports that day; it is not assigned to this record or added to its totals.

supportedunresolved Humphreys says Meade instructed Birney and Wright, ordered them to move irrespective of each other after connection caused delays, and that Birney had not taken the requisite precautions to secure his left. Lee credits Mahone with the June 22 and 23 attacks. The frozen commanders are Grant and Meade (US) and Lee (CS); the live page lists Grant and 'Major General Robert Lee'.

Direction and criticism attributed as stated; the live rank is not adopted. No listed commander receives automatic sole credit.

No inspected return establishes matched personnel at a common opening boundary. The frozen side-specific numerical strength bounds are blank (missing_numeric_strength). No figure in this pass is adopted as a simultaneous opening force.

supportedunresolved The frozen force field reads only 'Corps' and the live field zero. Humphreys names the Second Corps, followed by the Sixth, against Hill with Wilcox's and Mahone's divisions supported by B. R. Johnson's; Lee names Mahone with a part of his division.

Formations only; no headcount or return was inspected. None is adopted as a matched opening strength; live zeros are not measured absence.

supportedinherited Humphreys says the two corps moved chiefly through densely wooded thickets and that the enemy's works west of the plank road were the original works.

Woods and original works predate the engagement. No map verification.
