The inscription | reads: He died from the effects of a i wound received at the salient near'the crater in the works for the de-, fense of bis country". n Ho dtubt the writer of that in-i cription took it for granted that' the reader would immediately know where and wCicn the action, took place. Those who are familiar with "the crater in the works" should get an A in history. Those who are not have missed one of the most fascinating pages of war history. The story starts with a stale mate. It b is&t and the Army of the Potomac under General U. S. Grant is drawn up around the city of Petersburg, Va. Defer.ding this city is the Army of 'Northeni Vir ginia under the command 'of Gen eral Robert E. Lee. Ceiiuicinding the higher ground, the Confederates, seem in a posi tion to hold out indefinitely. In the invading army is a regi ment made up primarily of coali miners. A chance remark by a long-forgotten private in this regi ment was overhead by his conv- mandlng officer. The man said: . "Wo could blow that d-fort out of existence if rve could run a mine shaft under it." The commanding officer. Lt. Col. Pleasants, was a mining engineer himself and ,had„dug tunnels - ti^ railway construction. He passed this idea to his division cominander who passed it through channels to" higher headquarters. The plan met considerable opposition. The gener- at's engineers called the entire pro posal "clapArap" and nonsense. They said a mine shaft of such length could not possibly be ven tilated and the men who had to dig It wsuld ail be ruffocatcd, if not first killed by failing earth. However, since ru> one h=d a bet ter idea of how to break die stale mate and since the ger-erai felt it would at least keep the men busy, ha agreed to let Col. Pieas-snts' undertake the tunnel. Ex-coai min-: eis of the regiment were organized into shifts, exactly as if ihcy ware digging for coal and with pIclM and shovels the wark started. The dirt had to bo disposed ofIn such a way that the ^fending army Icokouts would not detect it.. Cracker boxes were used to haidjthe dirt from the gmwiiij tunnel.' Timber to shore up the ccHing and walls was obtained fcm an aband- onod sawmill back of !ho Imcs. with i Col. Plea.«ant3 sending tws) com panies cf men to cut timber and 0|>crate the mill. Exact calculations were needed to see that the tunnel stopped dir-1 ectly under the Confederate | bresiiworki. Obviously, nothing J would be acccmpilshcd if it stopped j short or dug too far. Pleasants had' to make diese triangulatian si^t-! tags himself urjer sniper fire. Ventilatica prcjcnied the biggest prcblem. This was solved by dig ging a vertical shaft ctcse beside the tunnel near the mcuth. The lower end of this shaft opened into a litde recess In the tunr-el wall. A square tube of boards was bui'.:. extending all the way from the mouth of the tunnel to the inner and. A door was then built to seal off tlio moutii of the tumsel. leav ing the open end of ihe tube ex tending out into the air. A fire was dici! built In the little recess at the bnitum of tlto vertical shafL Tlie smoke end heated air went up this chimney, the resulting draft pulled th bad air out of the luraiel. and fresh air from the outside was drawn in through the wooden tube. Three weeks after the work started, the end of the tunnel was squaroiy t)eru.-3ih the Confederate breastworks, over 20 feet under ground end 510 feet from the en trance. A »-toet shaft was- then dug across tire end of the tunnel so that the result looked like a capital T with a very long shank with the crossbar of the T running directly under the defend ers' works.
