Summary: Lieutenant Colonel John W. McGill of the 18th North Carolina covers his regiment’s movements and actions at the Siege of Petersburg for the first six weeks of the Siege.  He covers the regiment’s movements on June 22, 1864 at the Battle of Jerusalem Plank Road in a little detail, and also specifically mentions fighting at the First Battle of Deep Bottom on July 27, 1864.
