Seven Pines in 1912 was farmland in Henrico County, a few miles east of Richmond, with the Chickahominy River lying not far to the north. Farmers worked the fields along the Williamsburg Road, and a national cemetery holding Union dead from the 1862 fighting stood as one of the few formal markers on the ground. The Chesapeake and Ohio line passed through nearby Fair Oaks, linking the countryside to Richmond's freight yards and passenger trains. That year Virginians followed the presidential campaign closely, as the state's voters had long been a dependable part of the Democratic Party. Most people in the area knew the battlefield less as history than as the place where old roads crossed their fields.
