One State's Civil War Ordeal During Grant's Overland Campaign
Hardback
Publication Date: 21/05/2002
Grant's 1864 Overland Campaign from Brandy Station, VA, to Petersburg involved 100,000 men, 40 days, the battles of Second Wilderness, Spotsylvania Court House, and Cold Harbor, the Army of the Potomac, and a two to one casualty margin compared to the Confederates. Coffin weaves together stories of the participating military units, outlines the overall campaign, and gives voice to several hundred personalities on the battlefield and back home, primarily through diaries and letters. The family correspondence gives a glimpse into small town Vermont life as well as life at the front. From the home front in Vermont to the battlefields of Virginia.
