The Breakthrough Trail
— Pamplin Historical Park —
The two mounds on the lawn in front of you mark the locations of winter huts built by soldiers of Brigadier General Samuel McGowan's South Carolina brigade during the winter of 1864-65. McGowan's troops established several camps in this area immediately behind the earthworks they were building. During the Breakthrough of April 2, 1865, there was some brief fighting among the huts as the men of the Union Sixth Corps pushed forward to the Boydton Plank Road and the Southside Railroad.HM Number | HMA0F |
