Part Twelve
Spotsylvania Court House - In this bloody battle, Grant was checkmated by Lee and was forced to transfer his army to Cold Harbor
Cold Harbor - This battle, which terminated the Wilderness campaign, was one over which Grant subsequently expressed regret. Despite the valiant fighting of his army and severe loss, the great Federal commander had failed in his plan to destroy Lee and he saw that he must now cross the James River and make Petersburg the object of his activity.
The War Time Photographs Here Reproduced, were taken in 1864 and show the great commanders and the scenes of their activity in the Wilderness campaigns. General Grant lost 54,929 killed and missing and some of these, killed in the trenches or in the hospitals at Fredericksburg, are shown in the following pages. The character of the country fought over as well as the severity of the battles themselves, are clearly indicated by the photographs.
