- The Battle of Meadow Bridge (also known as Meadow Bridges and the Battle of Richmond Heights) was an engagement on May 12, 1864, in Henrico County, Virginia, during Lt. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant's Overland Campaign of the American Civil War. Following their victory at the Battle of Yellow Tavern on May 11, Union cavalry under Maj. Gen. Philip H. Sheridan advanced in the direction of the Confederate capital of Richmond. Caught in the narrow area between the fortifications of Richmond and the rain-swollen Chickahominy River, the Union troopers were subjected to fire from the artillery of Confederate Maj. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. Michigan cavalry under Brig. Gen. George A. Custer forced a crossing of a damaged railroad bridge, which was quickly rebuilt by engineers, allowing the troopers to escape to safety and continue their raid. (en)

- De Slag bij Meadow Bridge vond plaats op 12 mei 1864 in Henrico County Virginia tijdens de Overland-veldtocht in de Amerikaanse Burgeroorlog. Deze slag is ook gekend als de Slag bij Meadow Bridges of de Slag bij Richmond Heights. Na de overwinning in de Slag bij Yellow Tavern op 11 mei rukte de Noordelijke cavalerie van generaal-majoor Philip H. Sheridan verder op in de richting van de Zuidelijke hoofdstad Richmond. Gevangen tussen de verdedigingswerken van de stad en de gezwollen Chickahominy werden de Noordelijken bestookt door de artillerie van generaal-majoor Fitzhugh Lee. Brigadegeneraal George A. Custer slaagde erin om via een beschadigde spoorwegbrug een uitweg te forceren. Zo waren de cavaleristen in staat om zich uit hun benarde situatie te bevrijden en de raid verder te zetten. (nl)
