CONTRADICTORY VERDICT
[The mine at Petersburg] proved useless, became a death trap to its creators, yet.[..] To mine fortified works which cannot be breached or scaled has long been a common expedient in siege operations, but to attack an earthwork by such a method has never before been attempted & its ill success on this occasion will probably prevent its being quickly again essayed.
