On to Petersburg: Grant and Lee, June 4-15, 1864

With On to Petersburg, Gordon C.

Rhea completes his much-lauded history of the Overland Campaign, a series of Civil War battles fought between Generals Ulysses S.

Grant and Robert E.

Lee in southeastern Virginia in the spring of 1864.

On to Petersburg follows the Union army' s movement to the James River, the military response from the Confederates, and the initial assault on Petersburg, which Rhea suggests marked the true end of the Overland Campaign.
