On August 24, 1864, Confederate General Robert E. Lee decided to attack the Union Second Corps while it was outside the Union lines around Petersburg.

Private Solomon Crist and Company K, 55th Pennsylvania Infantry, part of the Union Tenth Corps, had just relieved the Eighteenth Corps on the Bermuda Hundred Line.
