Thundering Through Virginia:
In May 1864, just six months before the Presidential election, Union General-in-Chief Ulysses S. Grant launched a brutal, grinding campaign against Robert E. Lee and his Army of Northern Virginia -- the "Overland Campaign." Both generals knew the triumph of their cause depended on their success, and each knew that only one could emerge victorious.
The savage fighting that followed reflected the immense stakes. |
