The Wilderness Campaign
By Unknown Author
Archival Summary & Scope
The Battle of the Wilderness (May 1864) marked the brutal first confrontation between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee, launching the final, eleven-month campaign of the Civil War. This volume presents eight revisionist essays that delve into the battle's background, conduct, and repercussions. Exploring civilian expectations, troop morale, and the generalship of key commanders—including Lee, Grant, Sheridan, and Longstreet—these essays revise and enhance existing scholarship. They illuminate the complex intersection of military and nonmilitary spheres during this pivotal, early engagement of the Overland Campaign.Categorization Notes
