Cold Harbor
Map at the Cold Harbor NPS visitor center, from the famous 1864 campaign, last battle in Grant’s Overland campaign; from here he will move quickly south across the James River to try and seize Petersburg; managed to surprise Lee, outflanking him. Point of this photo and similar ones is that this ground had already been extensively fought over in 1862 during the Seven Days; the armies returned to the area in late winter, spring, and early summer of 1864.
All photos taken by Michael B. Chesson, Founding Professor and Dean, American College of History & Legal Studies, 8-9 June 2012.
