Join Emmanuel Dabney, Chief of Resource Management at Petersburg National Battlefield, to learn about new discoveries into the lives of the men, women, and children who were enslaved on the Eppes plantations at the confluence of the James and Appomattox Rivers. Learn how historians utilize various sources to trace the lives of enslaved individuals, sometimes from birth until their death, and consider the impact of the Civil War and Reconstruction on the Eppes family and those they enslaved.
