Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 6035. Where one of Grant’s Messengers Called. The City of Petersburg was under fire almost continuously from July 1864, till April 1865. Scarcely a building in the city but what was struck by shells from the Union batteries. This is a view of the parlor window of Dunlop’s house, one of the finest in the city, showing where a shell came bursting into the house. It hardly seems possible that any one could escape such a long siege and bombardment, yet there were many women and children who remained in Petersburg during the entire siege.
