Ream’s Station    
Other Names: Reams' Station 

Location: Dinwiddie County 

Campaign: Richmond-Petersburg Campaign (June 1864-March 1865) 

Date(s): June 29, 1864 

Principal Commanders: Maj. Gen. James Wilson and Brig. Gen. August Kautz [US];
Maj. Gen. William Mahone and Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee [CS] 

Forces Engaged: Divisions 

Estimated Casualties: 600 total  (1,817 for entire raid) 

Description: Early morning June 29, Brig. Gen. August Kautz’s division reached 
Ream’s Station on the Weldon Railroad, which was thought to be held by Union 
infantry.  Instead, Kautz found the road barred by Mahone’s Confederate 
infantry division. Wilson’s division, fighting against elements of William H.F.  
“Rooney” Lee’s cavalry,  joined Kautz’s near Ream’s Station, where they were 
virtually surrounded. About noon, Mahone’s infantry assaulted their front while 
Fitzhugh Lee’s cavalry division threatened the Union left flank. The raiders 
burned their wagons and abandoned their artillery. Separated by the Confederate 
attacks, Wilson and his men cut their way through and fled south on the Stage 
Road to cross Nottoway River, while Kautz went cross-country, reaching Federal 
lines at Petersburg about dark. Wilson continued east to the Blackwater River 
before turning north, eventually reaching Union lines at Light House Point on 
July 2. The Wilson-Kautz raid tore up more than 60 miles of track, temporarily 
disrupting rail traffic into Petersburg, but at a great cost in men and mounts. 

Result(s): Confederate victory

An Interactive Map of: 1864 Civil War in Virginia lists: "Ream's Station, Reams' Station VA June 29, 1864" but leads to a BROKEN LINK. It does, however, show a location for Ream's Station -- SSE of Richmond; a long way from Harpers Ferry....
