Military
Union forces of the V Corps under Maj. Gen. Gouverneur K. Warren sought to seize White Oak Road and cut the Confederate line of communication with Maj. Gen. George E. Pickett’s detachment near Five Forks, four miles west. From here Gen. Robert E. Lee personally supervised Lt. Gen. Richard H. Anderson’s corps in a counterattack to Gravelly Run. After a brief success, the Confederates were forced back into these entrenchments as Warren’s men gained the important roadway.
