The Wilderness Campaign by Gary W Gallagher

The Wilderness Campaign by Gary W Gallagher

This work talks about the inaugural encounter between Grant and Lee. The Wilderness campaign of May 5 - 6, 1864, initiated an epic confrontation between Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee that would ultimately end, eleven months later, with Lee's surrender at Appomattox. The eight essays assembled here explore aspects of the background, conduct, and repercussions of the fighting in the Wilderness. Contributors to this volume revise and enhance our thinking on the battle, highlighting ways in which the military and non-military spheres of war intersected in the Wilderness.

"Thought provoking and thoroughly researched essays, each dealing with a different aspect of the Wilderness Campaign... [A]n excellent addition to the Civil War student's shelf." - Blue & Gray Magazine"
