During the night of July 26 to July 27, the Union Army II Corps and two divisions of Maj. Gen. Philip Sheridan's cavalry under the command of Maj. Gen. Winfield S. Hancock crossed to the north side of James River to threaten Richmond. This demonstration diverted Confederate forces from the impending attack at Petersburg on July 30. Union efforts to turn the Confederate position at New Market Heights and Fussell's Mill were abandoned when the Confederates strongly reinforced their lines and counterattacked. During the night of July 29, the Federals recrossed the river, leaving a garrison to hold the bridgehead at Deep Bottom.
