Summary: This ten-page excerpt from the journal of Brigadier General August V. Kautz is an AMAZING resource for Siege of Petersburg researchers.  It is an almost day by day account of what Kautz and his Cavalry Division from the Army of the James were doing.  Features of this journal include his division’s movements and actions during the Wilson-Kautz Raid as well as the First Battle of Deep Bottom.
