May 29, 1864: The Battle of Hanovertown



MAY 29, 1864:           
The Battle of Hanovertown:              
Violent combat continues in the vicinity of Topopotomoy Creek. Fighting rages around the Shelton farmstead named “Rural Plains” in Hanovertown, once the home of American Patriot Patrick Henry. Although both sides try to spare the house, it bears scars of the battle to this day.
